Sad endings RIP HERMAN

I would like to go a little off track on my blog this week and talk about sad endings. Movies have sad ending but the worst is when your life is affected by a sad ending. Yesturday at 8:49 in the morning my great uncle lost his battle with cancer. He was only suffering with it f0r about a year and yesturday he was put at peace. I spent every summer with this man for the past five years. He had the best personality, always knowing how to make someone laugh, and just all around a good guy. I looked foward to spending my summers in New Jersey which is where he lived. Every time before I left he would tell me how he loves how every year I grow up so much. He would tell me how he looked foward to seeing me the next summer and that he would be counting the days. When I saw him over the past summer I never imagined this being my last time. I could tell that he was sick but he tried so hard to hide it with his personality. Within the last couple of weeks he got terribly ill and just wanted to die. The death of a family member is never easy on anyone. Since I was optimistic about him fighting his way out of the cancer like every other time, I think I was more let down then anything. Today was a sad day for me but tomorrow I know that I have to move on. He would want me to continue growing up and that is what I am going to do. Not everything in life can always have a happy ending. We look for the positive aspects in negative things through the lessons that they teach. I think that this mans life taught me so much about strength, character, and making it through every day. So I would like to dedicate this blog to Herman. I will miss you forever and ever and have fun up in heaven with your new friends.
