Uncle Bill

I am hurting. My Uncle Bill passed away on Sunday, and I am Broken. Last Monday was the beginning of the end. The end of his six year fight with Colon Cancer and last week we started to say our Good Byes to the most Amazing man. There was no question in my mind that I needed to see him through till the very end, it has been a journey that he took us all on with him... I just wish I could have got him back home to where he was born and to where he loved most.  Last week had its highs and lows but mostly lows :( to watch someone you love so much go through so much pain is the hardest thing I have ever been through. He was a true fighter and he made the most of everyday of his life, I am so proud of him,he is my HERO.

 

My Uncle was under Hospice care since November at my Brother and Sister in laws house. He was surrounded by LOVE and GOD all day everyday. I am so Thankful for them and their Huge Hearts. Monday he was admitted into the Hospice care Facility where he would spend the next 6 days. We were all there at one point or another, in shifts with our Kids even Zoey came to be with him. He was Love and LOVED so much. I spent my time with him telling him I loved him and Thanking him for everything he has ever done for me in my life. It was so hard but, I knew in my heart that he needed to know what he has meant to me. We were given this time by GOD to tell him. 

 

What am I going to tell my Son? How can I even explain this when he does not even understand? Beau really loved him... Uncle Bill loved all of our Children he was so good with them.

 

His service was exactly what I thought it would be... he touched so many and it really did show. I had the Honor of speaking on his behalf. My heart was telling me I had to months before and I even got to tell Uncle Bill I was planning on doing so. It was hard to sit down and think but, once I started it was like he was watching over me guiding me with his strength. My sister put together a picture tribute on Dvd for everyone to see how much he was a part of our lives.  My Niece Alyssa and her two friends along with their teacher drove 3 hours so that she could be there, and they opened up their hearts and Sang the most beautiful song. Last year we threw My Uncle a Surprise Birthday and my Brothers kids wrote a poem for him... which was read by them. Finally Allan and Traci (my brother and sister in law) belong to a really strong Faith Filled Community, their Pastor Jebba had been over to Pray with my Uncle a few times and came to the Hospice this past week to Pray with us... It was so Beautiful to be a part of that. He came to Pray at his service and yesterday at the Burial. We have so much more to go through. His house is filled with many things that I am sure will be hard. Please Continue to Pray for us, we are going to need it. For me today has been the hardest:( I miss him so much it hurts. I love you Uncle Bill, no more pain xoxo
