I've been waiting for November 8Th to come, and it came and went without me even remembering why i had set that day aside. I became so focused on other things (great things mind you) that I forgot to remember the day of my uncle's passing from cancer. It was 2 years ago yesterday but I can still remember the day I came home from work, walked into my kitchen and heard the news.
My dad looked at me and said, "You're Tio Saul went to be with the Lord". Shock and horror came over me and then overwhelming grief. I collapsed into my dad's arms as if someone had just hit me with a ton of bricks. Last I had heard he was doing ok.
So,today I'm in the car with the guys and my ipod is on one of my playlist when Mae's song "we're so far away" comes on. This may not seem like much to you, but the everglow album helped me grieve my uncle's death, that song in particular. Then it dawned on me. Today is November 9th. I forgot my uncle's passing. The day i was trying so hard to remember so I can pray even more for my aunt and cousins and I forgot. My heart ached, it still aches. My love for my uncle will never perish even though we both will.
I look forward to the day that we will be reunited in heaven.
I've lost many people to cancer and hope to live to see the day when we will find a cure. I have faith in a great God that can make it happen. Jesus Christ has brought me through this grief and now allows me to remember the great man of God that my uncle was.
My Tio Saul will always hold a special place in my heart.
