I was at my uncle's old old folk's home. I helped family pack up a few of his things. I noticed something. When people see you put boxes into your car at the old folk's home they think one of two things:

1) yay! a spot is open, I hope they leave soon. Or

2) crap. a spot is open.  They need a hug.

Unfortunately there's a lot of #1's. I would like to think that they're just optimistic. But frankly I think they're just too stupid to realize that they're packing up a car because someone's died.

I kind of think of homes like that as "resting homes for the nearly departed". My sympathy for your uncle...Hope everything will work out.. Curiously, how old was he?

I'm not really sure. About 80 I think. Thanks. I'm a bit relieved he's in a better place. He was very active mentally and physically before his stroke.
