I was told a short time ago that my uncle Barry, who is one of my mum's older brothers, died today.
It would be a good three years at least since I saw him but I have to say he was a very good man who for many years ran a boarding home for aboriginal children.
As far as I know he wasn't sick with anything we knew about so it's obviously been sudden. It looks like my mum won't be able to go to the funeral as she has been in hospital recovering from a hernia operation.
I hope she handles it reasonably well. I don't really know what to think about it, I know that sounds really bad. It's naturally very sad and I hope my aunt and cousins hold up.
