My Uncle Pete died from cancer today. I don't understand death, especially when it's premature. Pete left behind his wife, my Aunt Pati and three children - Colin, Julia, and Alissa. They're the reason his death is so devastating. They still have so much to do in their lives, and he won't be there to experience it with them. That breaks my heart. Pete was such a good husband and father and uncle, and yet a senseless disease claimed his life. I just don't get that. Anyway, I'm going to make more of an effort to spend time with my cousins :)
