my uncle, ashok passed away yesterday morning. he was only 50 or 52 years old. (i can never really get a straight answer about these things from my parents/aunts and uncles) he's the second brother of 11 siblings to pass. (9 boys, my dad included and 2 girls) having a zillion kids was the norm in indian and trini cultures back in the day

Oh I'm sorry about your uncle. I know what you mean about it making you think about your own parents. Whenever I hear about people passing I'm like "whoa...my parent's aren't that much younger!" but you're right...it doesn't matter how old you are!

this may sound morbid.. but every day is a day closer to death.

Not morbid...just truth.
