Tony Shalhoub, who won for lead actor in a comedy series for his role
as the obsessive compulsive detective Adrian Monk, said he felt torn
between attending the Emmys and being with his family to mourn the
sudden death of his 34-year-old nephew.

Shalhoub said his older sister's son, Greg Gensler, was diagnosed with
a form of leukemia just days ago after complaining of back pain.

"They started him on chemo and the situation seemed to be stable for a
couple of days and very quickly began to unravel," Shalhoub said
backstage. "On Saturday, he had brain hemorrhaging. They just weren't
able to do anything.

"It gave me kind of a dilemma because I wanted to be there with my
siblings," said Shalhoub, who comes from a family of 10. "They all
convinced me to stay. I thought it would be fitting to include him in
this."

That's sad. The death of a loved one is never easy. My Nana (my mother's mom)
died two weeks ago today. I miss her terribly, but I know she's in a much
better place.
