He was fine a few months ago when I visited him but now he's apparently lost a lot of weight and been diagnosed. Damn. Really hoping right now that I don't have to travel 12 hours by plane for a funeral.

Hopefully he'll be strong enough to fight it

I'd also rather not have my absolute asshat of a cousin running the family farm.

@ book My uncle mainly farms potatoes these days. Used to have a lot of strawberries but now there's not as much of that. My grandpa got rid of farming livestock (specifically pork) in 1999. It's just a small family farm in the middle of nowhere in northern Finland.
