October 15, 2009

My brother in law, Nigel Noton, passed away 1 year ago today. He was 47. He died from a brain tumor. He managed to live about 11 years after he was diagnosed.

His death is surreal to me. My wife wasn't close to him. We saw him at Christmas and occasionally Easter at my wife's parent's house. We also spent a week with him and his family during the summers for about 10 years. My mother and father-in-law would take us all up to Lake Winnipesaukee in NH and once to Bermuda. Their generosity enabled us to spend time together atleast for a short time each year as a family.

As we didn't spend a lot of time together it really doesn't seem like he is gone. Today his wife and kids are meeting my mother and father-in-law for a meal at a restaurant to remember him. They asked my wife if she would like to go and she declined.
