Mixed Emotions

I received a phone call from my Dad tonight to tell me that my uncle had passed away...one of his brothers.  It was so hard to hear and harder knowing that once again my family will join together at a difficult time and I won't be there.

This seems to be the week of emotion...

• nerves over exams (one down and one to go)
• excitement about flying to see Stephen in the Yukon
• grief over the lost of another uncle and family time

I guess that is life....
