I...it was very hard for me to consider seeing him that way, and I don't think he wanted me too. However in not going, I broke a promise I had made to him a few years prior (that I would make sure the rest of the family wasn't mourning him, but rather celebrating (his style)). I just couldn't do it, I couldn't watch them be upset and sullen (because I can't console them all). <-That has been my job, but he was my uncle, I was Fox, and we watched "Fraggle Rock" together and at Cocoa Puffs, and he talked to me about life like I had some since, and didn't just gloss over. My grief was too deep to contain, and definitely couldn't help anybody else be happy when all I wanted to do was pull a Job. So I went where the people were already happy and they could cheer me up, some might call it selfish, but I call it self-preservation. Whew! Sorry for that, guess I have a lot on my chest today.Shanta Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13811159565741623458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2414462254463730843.post-80897929736085333582009-04-16T13:46:00.000-04:002009-04-16T13:46:00.000-04:00Family is important.
