I don't even know how to title this one. This has nothing to do with Kendall - but I still had to write it. My uncle - who is totally my "other" dad - had a heart attack at work yesterday. It took the paramedics 6 "shocks" to get his heart working again. And it's only half working at that. He hasn't been awake since it happened - more b/c he is heavily sedated so that his body can rest. In his will he has requested no life support - so this afternoon when his other brother makes it to town, they are shutting all his machines off. Uncle Mike was always the one to save me when something was wrong - when my car was stuck at the end of my driveway before christmas, he left work and came and pulled me out. When I left at lunch one day and came out of Taco Bell and my cars tire was completely flat - he got up early (he worked 3rd) and came and put my spare on for me. He just turned 57 in December. He always really helped my dad out with "fix it" things also - b/c ron is far from being a fix it kinda guy, even though he desperately tries. Sorry if this is kinda bouncing around - the last few days have been quite a haze.......all I can say is that it totally just sucks right now.
