No Weddings
August 10, 2010 // Posted in faith, family and friends | No Comments
Wonder if I’m getting so much older that all my friends are already married off? Of has the recession made people put marriage and expensive weddings on hold for a year or two? All I know is, last year I had to attend 6 weddings of friends and family over the summer. This year I don’t have to go to any.
It still hurts

I’m sure if you were old enough to remember Sept. 11th when the twin towers fell, then you remember exactly where you were when it came across the news. I will never forget the sick feeling I got in the pit of my stomach and still get to this day when I think about the sight of those two planes crashing into the twin towers.
The horrific loss of life that day not only at the twin towers in New York but also the other two planes that went down, was just too unimaginable in our country. It left all of us feeling frightened and really, terrified was more like it. We all have seen things like that happen in other countries but not here at home.
God Bless the families of those that were lost that day and God Bless America!!!!
The hardest thing I have ever done

Yesterday was my cousins funeral. He passed away the morning after he collapsed. Since he was an organ donor, it took 24 hours before they released his body to his family. So yesterday, we buried him. At least we know that a part of him still lives on in someone that he helped by being an organ donor.
Life just doesn’t seem the same since he’s gone. Even though we didn’t see each other every day and didn’t talk every day, I knew he was there and if there was something I wanted to talk to him about or just go out for a pizza, he was there. I have caught myself starting to dial his number to tell him something. I have never been through something with someone so close to me before and I know it will take time to sort everything out that I’m feeling.
How is this possible?

I just got a call from my mother telling me that my cousin that is just two months younger than I am, collapsed at work. It seems that he had an aneurysm. They don’t know if he’s going to make it through the night. How can this be possible? He was fine this morning and then all of a sudden had a really bad headache and that was it. We grew up more like brothers than cousins.
Doctors can do some great things now and hopefully they can bring him back. The only thing that could stop that is if the Good Lord has decided that his time is up here on earth. Each day is precious and we have to live each moment like it’s our last and my cousin showed me that. I just hope and pray that he wakes up tomorrow complaining about being in a hospital gown.
