Sad day

Just got a phone call from my cousin advising me that my cousin Bob was not going to make it probably more then a day.  Cousin Bob is better known to me as Uncle Bobby.  He is my dad's nephew and one of the few members of the Warren family still alive that I know.  He had a major stroke and has congestive heart failure and  COPD already.  His mom died before before I remember. He spent a lot of his growing up years living with our family and was a wonderful addition.

For years after my dad died Uncle Bobby would drive to Madras on mothers day and take my mom to supper. He had COPD so bad he could not stay in the high elevation for long but until the last 2 years when he got worse he always was there for Mothers day and then he would turn around and drive back to Southern Oregon. My grand daughter remembers him coming and taking us all out to chinese food and the stories we would tell of when we were kids and believe me there were many.

It is so sad later in life that most of the people you know are no longer with us. It really makes my mom sad because most of her friends and loved ones are dead or are not doing good. She knows how blessed she is but it always brings home to her heart that she is 87 years old. I think it is the time she feels the most old is when someone we love passes on.

I don't think we will go home for the funeral as we don't really know anyone of the ones that are left. I feel like a whole chapter of my life has ended as it is the last Warren family member left that I knew and loved...

Sad day in the desert
