My granduncle of 82, just 3 days ago, thanked me for the brownies and cookies I had made and sent him over the mail, just to surprise him and offer him a treat.
I asked him if he had liked them and he said yes, so I tiold him I'd be sending him another Batch soon.
With this he was pleased.
The very next day when I called my grandaunt of 73, she gave me some terribly tragic news. He had contracted pneumonia over night, because of an outstanding cold and was taken to the hospital.
As I write this, I have just been informed that "complications" developed, have rendered him "brain-dead and that the prognosis was extremely poor, but that 2 more days of tests would be tried to improbably help him. Sitting here, remembering his voice, frail and yet enthused at a new batch of brownies.
"i'll send them to you promptly" , was the LAST thing I said to this good man, dear to me.
My question is this, if you had known what was to follow, as I did NOT, what comment to a dear one would you have made?
