Yesterday was one of the harder, sadder days of my life.
I visited my Dads brother with my Dad, in hospital. My uncles name is Ron, and he is 79 (80 in August). I mean this guy was the uncle that loved fast cars, probably gave me my first beer, took me on mountain bike hikes like 40kms long and was basically just the most badass best uncle you could ever ask for.
He was always a giant in my mind, immortal.
He is really sick. There is nothing the doctors can do for him. We both knew yesterday were our last moments together.
There were some beautiful moments we had together yesterday that I will never forget and I will take to my grave.
That last touch, that last glance is the hardest part.
We got lots to do mate, come on get out of there lets kick ass.
