Last fall I lost my uncle

This fall I remember him

I always think about the fact that this was my mother’s brother. I found out before she did. I had to tell my mother her older brother passed away. I had to be strong for her while I was hurting. I’ve lost family members in the last couple of years & I’m never allowed proper space or time to handle and come to terms with the passings. I just kind just have to. I have to be a pillar for my family now. I’ll never forget the burning sensation of breaking the news to my mom and seeing her face change because of my words. I was glad I was able to be there for her time of need as this was one of her closer brothers but it didn’t feel any good to have to be the one to break it to her.

I hope you’re at rest now.
