Just received word that my uncle will likely pass away very soon. He has suffered from ill health for years, and my cousin wrote it is just a matter of time. He has always been a favorite of mine, and I will miss him dearly.
I know life passes, that we are here only a wee while... but facing the leaving is heartbreaking to me. When I was last in the temple for Beth's first visit, I was reminded again that heaven need be nothing more than never again saying goodbye to those we love. I know I'll have many more such goodbyes before then, and I don't know if my heart will hold out.
