My aunt is suffering from one cancer to another. Now chemotherapy can't help. She's on morphine and some cancer tablets. She's not even married and lives alone. While trying to be the best in a service to her since everyone else pushes her away, I couldn't manage well. I got drained emotionally and mentally. It drove me to be quieter and quieter. Her losing hope affected me too. But she's been my best friend. Reading your article about your uncle, I feel about the same. I told myself many times, when my aunt is no longer around, it means I lose a great best friend. I resonated with this article, the joyous moments you found with your uncle, I felt same way. I hope I'm strong even after my aunt is no longer around one day.
