I’m not too happy, since my uncle passed away today. Yes, the same uncle that my dad went to Bangladesh to see. Because of this, my dad is staying in B’desh a little longer, and not leaving there on February 2. Right now, they are supposed to be going to the town where my uncle lived to have a funeral and inter him. I heard that it hit my dad the most and that they had to force him to go to sleep, because he was crying so much.
My uncle died because of lung cancer. How did he get lung cancer? He smoked a whole lot of cigarettes, that’s how.
Update: It turns out he got radiotherapy too soon, which caused him to have a stroke. You’re supposed to get the radiotherapy a year after you get chemotherapy, and my uncle was diagnosed last summer. The guy who was giving the therapy just wanted the money. How do we know this? He said not to tell his boss that he was giving the therapy when he was since he might lose his job. I got really mad when I heard this. It kind of shows how greedy some people are in this world, valuing money over life.
Sorry to hear about that dude…
My deepest condolances to you and your family.
