KateT130's Journal

Ya know sorrow is a crazy thing.  Monday and Tuesday after I found out that my mentor and favorite 'adopted' uncle took his own life, I was devastated.  I couldn't believe the loss I felt.  Wednesday through today I was busy crazy and sad when I had fond memories run through my head.....but tonight at the wake after a heartbreaking greeting from his children (my 'adopted brother and sister), I felt at peace.  It hurts no doubt about it.  But, it was like he was holding my hand and saying "I'm happier here now".

"Uncle Ken, I hope you are up their being that eccentric crazy neighbor who did everything with me that my parents wouldn't/couldn't do.  And, I hope you are up there racing your ass off.  Stay safe (this time) and know that I will always be thinking of you and will always love you. And for years I thought you gave me Flicka!!!!!  (Boy was mom pissed when she found out I thought that all of those years)"  Hugs and Kisses "katy didn't.  You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray.  You'll never know dear how much I love you.......
