Death of My Uncle and My Grandpa
Within one month both my uncle and my grandpa died. Both losses are sad enough on their own, but the sadness seems greater because of how close together they happened. Both seemed to be a reminder of the death of my father last summer, which is all too fresh in my mind.
I have some great memories of my uncle. I have some great memories of my grandpa as well. They were good men who taught me a lot without saying much.
At this point, I am not ashamed to mention that I have cried many times in the last month. My mother has lost her husband, brother, and father. My cousins have lost their father, uncle, and grandpa. Please keep my extended family in your thoughts and prayers. God bless.
