May your late uncle continue to rest in peace. That was a chilling thing to experience for a child of your age back then. Things like this happen when a loved one suddenly leaves this world.
I have had a very similar occurrence with a very close friend who died when I was a little girl.
I remembered crying, though I had only known my uncle for a week or two. He was so kind to us. I hope he is at peace now.
Thank you for reading my story.
