This life as we know it isn't what I would call Perfect!
Some of you may know that my uncle is in the hospital. A massive heart attack that only 17% survive, and an aweful staph infection of the worst sort. The doctors said it was the worst case they have seen and if it spread near his heart that he would have to have sugery. This sugery would be extreamly rigerous and that the chances of pulling through are extreamly low. This morning it was decided that he had to have sugery and they are preping him as I type. But this I tell you is not the worst I have to say. My dad being extreamly upset with the idea of his brothers imminent death, he called his boss to ask for the time off to see his brother one last time, his boss told him that if he left to see his brother, he would not have a job when he returned. Half of my family told him that Rat (my uncles nickname) would understand and should not loose his job consider our family economics and the other half sugested he tell that jerk to take that job and shove it. To really understand the situation, you have to know that my dad has worked 21 years at Henredon. He works extreamly hard and breaks his back for that worthless furniture factory that would lay-off 20 temporaries and hire 22 from Drexel Furniture from a different county. My dad doesn't nesaccery like his job nor does he nesaccery like his boss. However; dad is ,very difficultly may I add, contemplating forgetting his job and going to see his sickly brother. His big brother that has shared with him the life around them. My family says that Rat is scared. I do not know your story but mine would have my entire immediate family around as I sicken more everyday. I may not get along well, with everyone in my family but family does mean a lot to me, the same with my dad and Rat. The Hall's are about unity and this man who does not even step foot on Henredon property that much is telling my father to screw this unity. I wish I could comfort my dad but he's at his job which he may not have anymore depending on his decision. I just don't know what to do.
