aw.. the same year. i lost my second uncle to lung cancer in 2003, i already lost my first uncle to muscle loss and rare form of cancer (1997) that we even don't know today. and now i might soon lose my grandma, she is dying, as far i know. my mother told me and she's having tough time living with that fact her mom might not be here soon. the most ironic thing out of it, i have ability to see far into the future, but future paths can always change. it is diffcult to see. in future, i could see my grandma die in hospital, when i told my mother this, she could't believe it at that time, because so far with predicting futures, i was often proved correct. and when doctor told my mother that grandma was dying, she really was shocked and then saddened. she came home told me, i was very much saddened to know this. i said to myself once, "why can't i be wrong just once?" i kinda knew that it could be very well last christmas with her. so gotta make best of it as i can with her. as well to try help my mother cope with the loss should it happen. i really had hard time, i mourned for 6 months after loss of my dogs, they died from diffrent instance between months. and took me almost next 5 months to get over it. it really had big impact on me.
i hope you remember the good memories and for they they will be always alive if you remember them with good memories in your heart, in your mind. i hope everything goes okay for you in due time.
EDIT:
forgot to add (1997)
