Family issues again

Today my sister in Wndhoek asked me if I had any idea for a birthday present for our father. As always I have no idea what he needs or wants, or even what he is interested in. Her birthday is two days away from his. She also told me that one of our uncles has died last Saturday. That was something which I expected for a while due to his medical condition. Since I only saw him once every few years that wasn't much of a shocker. My father was close to death this year and 12 weeks in the hospital is not a fun matter.
