My Favorite Uncle Is Gone

Yesterday afternoon I went to my appointment for an MRI on my right knee because I dammaged it last late Fall. Well, They couldn't complete the MRI because it hurt me too much to lay flat on my back. I couldn't stay still and my whole body was shaking. So they contacted my Dr. leaving a message saying I need a sedative to relax me and I am scheduled to try again today at 3:30 p.m. On our way home, my sister phoned me to tell me that my Uncle died as a piece of heavy equipment fell on him. He was a farmer all his life. I wish you Safe journey on the Rainbow Road, dear Uncle Duane.

Love, Caitlin Micole Mattison, your brat cat
