Good-Bye Uncle Tom

My Uncle Tom Crosby passed away tonight around 7:15. I'm really glad I got to sit with him last night and hold his hand. Even though I was not particularly close to him, my mom, brother and I were his only family. It is really hard to watch a person take breaths which in your gut you know are numbered. I wanted to tell him to let go, but I didn't have the courage to yell loud enough for him to hear while he laid there in the shared room of the nursing home. Uncle Tom, sleep well.
