There’s always that one person in life that just…they make sense, they make things better just by talking to them. My uncle was that person. He was just so great at telling you the truth, not just what you want to hear. He really dug in and actually gave you what you NEEDED to hear. I miss him more than ever right now. It’s been almost three years since he died…out of the blue…was just gone. He had gotten me through so much…When I didn’t think I was good enough for college he reminded me of my strength and just how strong I am and what I am capable of. He later on helped me calm down and keep going with school. Every time I doubted what I could do, or what was available to me, he reminded me that I could take on the world. He always gave me hope and renewed my faith in myself. Now, when life is crazy, I find myself broke, as ever, playing step mom to my boyfriends daughter, trying to keep him afloat while trying to pay for the now three extra years i have in college, paying off so many bills…and just stretching myself thin with the two jobs I need to accomplish it all…I could use one of his talks. Where he was real with me and flat out said that life sucks, but if I sit back and let it all fall apart…I wouldn’t be who I am. If I could just talk with him again, ask how he handled being a step father…how he accepted the change when he never had his own children. How much he loved them, and just how to cope when you don’t know what to do. When life feels like this empty, heartless black hole, how you find the will to keep going. It just kills me to not have him here anymore. He was an endless fountain of knowledge and compassion for everyone…and Dear god, he was my favorite person to talk to. When I couldn’t talk with my parents, when we’d fight the moment we said hi to each other, he made me calm and just made it ok, Reminded me that they love me and I need to respect them and love them to, and that he knew I already did, I just forgot. He was an amazing person, who changed so many lives, there were over 400 people at his funeral, and not a dry eye in the house. So many stories of the boy scouts in his troops over the years that he had helped when their family life was horrible and they had no one who even cared about them. He’d go to their sporting events and help them study and get into college. He made everyone he met feel so loved and strong. He ALWAYS helped people see the good in themselves. And I have no idea what to do right now without him. I miss the big hugs and how he just knew from seeing me that something was wrong, and he wouldn’t let me just walk away and ignore it. He’d sit with me and talk it out. Life is not the same without him here. I still just want to be able to just call him and have our conversations about trains, history, music, even his silly jokes. He was the most amazing man I have ever met…and I really REALLY wish he was here right now. Sorry for the emotional rant….just…it needed to get out of my head. I pray to God that you people are lucky enough to have someone like this in your life. and don’t you dare for one second take for granted that they will be there forever. Fate doesn’t work that way. Love them, listen to them, and for the love of god cherish every single moment you are lucky enough to spend with them.
