A VISIT TO MY SICK UNCLE A schedule to visit my sick Uncle. He was bedridden for three months. He is very ill. The doctor decided to released him ..miracle can heal him as they say. He is 80 years old. He was the one who taught me how to eat tomatoes and vegetables when I was a kid. Their house is far from us like 15 minutes drive. They had farm a wide farm and he is still worried about it. In few days it will be harvested. I remember when I was kid, I used to help them harvesting hectare of tomatoes. I loved to pick tomatoes and I'm very naughty. He shouted at me to go home and sleep. This morning I saw him again so weak ..me and my siblings brought him soup and fruits and we fed him. He looks happy to see us. But deep inside we're sad. We still throw jokes at him and telling him to eat more. He is asking if he can smoke. My naughty sister give him cigarette secretly. His daughters are busy in the kitchen so we fed him and give him cigarette. Then he ask coca cola it's not good for him but I said let him eat and drink what he wants. It makes him happy. But we saw Aunt is coming so we get the cigarettes and the cola. Tonight my elder sister will visit him again and bring the food and drinks he liked. Why not give him the happiness? Besides life is too short..we should be happy!

I hope it will improve. However, I am convinced that you have done well to make him happy, even if the things he wanted are not healthy. Good day
Ms. Chiks, a 15 minute drive is NOT far away! Unless you're used to walking, I guess. Yes, please help him be comfortable. If the doctor sent him home to wait for a miracle, then he should be allowed to be happy. I hope God allows him and all of you to deal with this transition is the best way possible. Know that being around you and your siblings is already a miracle for him. And thank you for not avoiding him in his time of need.
