I know Mom needed him. I know Mom knew his pain. I know Mom spoke to him & said it was okay to come & be with her in heaven. She knew he was tired. She knew his human body was now too weak for this earth. I know that she called his name from Heaven and made sure he knew God would be there to embrace them together.
He fought this disease for a long time and he, just like my Mom, was a CHAMP! He was a good man, a great son, an amazing Uncle, good friend......and God has healed him.
Uncle J was a quiet man, a little reserved at times even. But every time I went for a visit to see my Mom's parents in NY he was sure to stop in & give me a hard time. As a kid I LOVED it, I LOVED when he came b/c I knew that we'd always make a trip out to his truck & see if there was any gum in the glove box. This wasn't just any gum though, it was Big Red gum, the kind that as a child burned my lips & tongue and brought a tear to my eye. You can imagine, that this favorite Uncle of mine, must have for sure had a nickname for me.....yep.....I was known as CryBaby. And oddly enough, although as an adult I do not cry when I eat Big Red, I have still been known to be called that from time to time.
I have some wonderful memories of my Uncle that I thank God to have, but I will try to take great comfort in knowing the pain is gone and Mom now has a partner in crime up there in Heaven.
I love you Uncle J! I love you Mom!
MUCH Love & Prayer,
Niece/Daughter
