Crossing Over…

My Dear Uncle Danny, I loved my Uncle and he loved me! He has left us now God rest his soul. I have lost 3 special loves this year and death is a sad experience. We never know how valuable time is with our loved ones until they’re gone. This is why it is important that we love fully while we are all here and be grateful for the breath we are honored to take. This time it was different… On his death day I felt every part of it in my heart and soul. It was as if we were connected soul to soul. My family and I comforted him the best we could. We gave him a loving family to cherish for the rest of his days. We gave him and he gave us the unconditional love that a family should have. We sat with him through his pain, cancer sucks and it will take us fast. Cancer has no mercy, no compassion, it is both a fight and a struggle for all. But he is resting now and I know this in my heart, he has no more pain, no more suffering, no more fear, he is free. His body has been put to rest and his soul will travel on. On the last day he was present I felt a desire to write him a letter so I did and I took it to him to read it to him in person. I did not hesitate and I am grateful I did. We had one last Christmas as a family and I sat with him, played music for him, drew him a colorful rainbow. I hugged him, {touch} I gave him love {heart} and compassion. Until we had to carry him down the stairs to the hospital knowing we may not see him again. It was hard, sad, emotional, and beautiful all at the same time. The next day we gathered by his bed side and comforted him, held his hands, played music for him, loved him, cherished every moment we had left with him until the end… As I held his hand I felt his pain and his love. My last words to him were “Thank You Uncle Danny for picking us to spend your last days with we are honored.} It was then he took his last breath, the room grew cold, and a sensation of no pain, no fear, and peace filled my body from head to feet. I felt a sense of peace run through my entire body. I knew then he was gone and he was in peace now. Death is scary and sad but it is life and we will all face it someday. All we can wish for is at the end we are loved. My uncle was and always will be. Everything in life is a give and receive and it is so important we do exactly that. It is God’s way and the only way. Peace, Love, and Happiness for the rest of our days… IN LOVING MEMORIES OF UNCLE DANNY
