Loss

With the Holiday Season fast approaching it seems a cruel joke to me that the last two months for my family and friends has been completely marred by loss... The first was the Beggining of October with the loss of my husbands great Aunt Rose, followed about 20 days later by my Great Aunt Edna.. a few Days after that my husbands Great Aunt Isabelle Passed away. I hoped desperatly that that would be the end. These women where all well on in years and lived long and filled lives, each touching the lives of their families in so many ways.
Unfortunatly the morning after the Last funeral we read in the paper that a friend from High School had succumbed after 25 long and incredible years of life to the Cystic Fibrosis that had always been a part of her life. The loss was huge as Jill touched every life she came in contact with, she was a true Earth Bound Angel and will continue to be an Angel in Heaven as well. A few days after that a friend told me that a far to young to go young women we went to School with when I lived in Ohio had been brutally murdered. I ask you .. is it over yet??? No, my mother called me to tell me that My Wonderful Uncle Doug has passed away from the Cancer he had been fighting for sometime.. My Uncle Doug was an Incredible man. He could make you laugh in just a few minutes time and convince even the biggest skeptic to just give it a try.. ( Hence the reason he once convinced me to try an Olive with an M&M inside it.. BTW>. DONTDO IT! ) but he was a loving Caring, Father, Husband, Brother, Uncle and Marine that the world will be missing for many years to come. The good news is he did something not everyone manages to do.. He made a mark. He touched lives and will be remembered forever for the lives he changed. I Hope someday when I get to the end of my road people can say the same about me. Here is an Article that was posted in the paper my Uncle was the Publisher of.. Please Check it out..
