But not by his own hand or accord.
Someone made a mistake and my family is considering legal options against the transgressor.
Though I didn't know him very well or was very close to him, I will remember him as a man who is fiercely independent, kind and filial.
Being a portly figure, I will always remember my mom telling me how he and his late wife (also substantially large) climbed onto a camel for a photo shot and made it go "oof"!
Through him, I realise how important family members are to support us in times of trial and tribulations. If he had been a sole child of my grandma, it is likely that he would just be considered as a statistical figure in a report.
But his brothers and sisters are rallying around him. So even though he's now lying in the ICU fighting for his life, he's not alone.
I can't do anything but pray for his suffering to end; But for the other family members, it's just starting.
