My first encounter..

   Today I had my first encounter with death. I went to visit my dying uncle today since he has only a few more days left to live. I expected him to look terible but when I got to his house there was something I didnt expect. My father , my sister and I arrived at the house we were greeted by everyone and told to go into his room and see him. We walked in and my uncle was skin and bones and every trace of joyfull life had left him , he sat there in his bed awake but didnt not respond to our arrival. He was in a compleatly diffrent world. Death was creeping in rapidly. My mother went to see him on wednesday and told me he was fully aware of her being there and was talking to her and hugged her. The fact that a few days made such a big diffrence in him shook me. Death was creeping in at his feet literaly. His feet were hardening up and his hands were cold. My father said a group prayer for him and I couldnt help but to come to tears at the thought of my uncle slowly dying before my eyes and being in the same room with progressing death.
