it been another year...

i try not to think about this alot of the time but its something ive tried to cope with ever since

a few years ago my uncle passed away, he decided to live with my mom grandmother and me for a while, we found out a little to later he wasnt taking his medication for his condition, and when we sent he to the hospital he came back home the next day, acting calm and just like his old self, the next day, i think around 6 in the mourning, my mother found him downstairs in his bed, she called the ambulance, i didnt know what to do so i went downstairs a little bit before they came to take him.....he looked so peaceful, for a few minutes i tried to move him, push him,didnt want to except he was really gone, i hugged him before they took him, the pose in the picture is exactly how i looked...i went to my room and huddled in the dark with the ambulance out the window flashing its lights, i was numb beyond anything, i didnt cry at the funeral, i didnt really cry for two weeks, until i just broke down to my mother, it was bad, but she told me something "he knew you cared about him, he knew we all did" and this is another year ive gone without him, his wallet, and his watch he always wear is what i keep to remember him by.

thank you uncle, i hope your happy where you are, and happy new year ~<3
