A Relative Has Passed Away, Taking Leave

A relative has passed away, taking leave.

I just got a phone call. An uncle of mine passed away from illness, and I can't calm down enough to write right now. I'm going to pack up and head back early tomorrow morning to observe the mourning rites. I'll be taking two or three days off. Please forgive me.

As I get older, I can feel the previous generation aging more and more. I hope everyone, and the people around you, can all stay healthy.
