My stepfather died two days ago. I'm going back for the funeral today.

His obituary.

I'm still sort of in shock. I can't believe it really has happened.

I know what it's like to lose a family member to leukemia. My uncle passed away in 1994 from a leukemia that hit him fast and hard. He passed 10 days after being admitted in the hospital.
