| Valentine's day will never be the same I know I've talked about my Uncle before on here, and I'm sorry if it annoys any one, but I don't care. Today is the 2 year anniversary of his death. He was only 36, and was like my best friend. He had a fiance and 4 kids- a set of twins that were 16, and 2 little girls (2 and 3 years old) from his fiance. He had a rough life growing up, and spent a good amount of time in prison. When he got out, he made a decision that he was going to do good for his kids (he only had the twins at that time). He built the most incredible relationship with the twins and they loved eachother more than anything. He said he asked God for another chance with them, and a few years later had Angel and Kaylie- his 2 little princesses. He started his own construction company, and made a great life for his family. He worked hard, and played harder, and was the most fun person to be around. On Valentine's day, 2 years ago, he was on vacation in Arkansas and took his brother's motorcycle to meet up with his mom and sister for dinner. He crashed that night and died instantly. Its been a long, hard road for his girls, and the twins, and for everyone who ever knew him. He touched a lot of peoples lives. I was doing ok today, and not really thinking about it, but it just hit me at work, and now I'm a mess. I just needed to talk about him, so thanks for reading. |

| So sorry I'm sorry you are having a rough day and are missing your uncle. I am missing mine as well. I just lost my uncle this past Friday, two days after my birthday. It was a total shock to me. Even though I have other uncles he was the only one that ever really had anything to do with me and I used to stay with him & my aunt all the time growing up. I was doing good when my mom told me Friday morning but at the funeral home on Sunday I was a complete mess. I still can't believe he is gone. I hope you get to feeling better. Like everyone kept telling me on Sunday, we will see them again someday. Pam |

| Aww....hugs to you! Don't ever worry about talking about him here. We all understand completely! I lost my sister in January quite suddenly - she was my best friend. Now I'm so lost without her. So I'm gonna be relying on my friends here at YT to help me through it in addition to my family and friends here where I live. Time will help the loss become easier but it will never truly take the pain away, at least that's what I keep telling myself these days.

I am so sorry that you lost your uncle. I know all the cliche's about "He's in a better place," or "He's watching over you." After hearing that so many times, you realize its just BS ppl say when they don't know what else to say. I've said those things too! But the best thing I can say is that you have the memories of him, and be thankful you were blessed to spend the time with him that you did. It is sad that they're gone, but think about how lucky we were to even have that, when some people don't ever get to have someone like them in their lives! We were the lucky ones! | |

| I'm really sorry you are having a rough time, there is nothing more painful than missing a loved one that you have lost. Don't forget to remember the things about him that made you smile, it might help you get through it a little easier.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | How tragic to lose him after he went through so much to turn his life around. It is so hard to understand these things.

Hugs to each of you, Patti and Jack "TIME" Time is not just a minute or another day, It's a life time of memories stashed away. So many of those memories that we hold dear, Far too many shed many a tear. Our faith and belief will see us through, God walks with us daily with me and you. The path we choose is ours for the taking, The joys HE gave us was HIS in the making. Hold on to the treasured gift that HE so willingly gave, Assuring us of eternity and wanting us all to be saved. One day together in heaven we'll be, The promise of life forever for you an me. Hold onto the memories forever to cherish, Those we hold dear never really did perish. Time goes on beyond with abundant treasure, Together with each other what blissful pleasure. Time waits for no one, it goes by so fast, What we encounter in loving one another is what will last. Take hold and feel the warmth of the sun, wind blowing, Together what waits beyond for us is knowing. Life's treasures are beyond what life holds in store, Heaven has to offer ever so much more. Our precious ones God has in HIS care, Giving back to HIM was so hard to bare. Hold on to this time if God wants it to be so, Time doesn't stand still and HE wants you to know. Time isn't just to be here for another minute or a day, It's a lifetime in Eternity forever with HIM to stay. Thank you Lord for allowing this to be, For each of us, YOU, YOU, and ME. Written by me, Patti on Febuary 2,2007 | |

| Patty that was so beautiful and so thoughtful of you to do... To the OP, I hope your Valentines Day improved and I hope that you find Peace in the knowledge that your uncle blessed your life with love. This is something you will never ever lose. It is so painful to lose a loved one and sometimes we believe the pain will never go away. But it does get better ... I promise. God bless.... |
