Remembering a Great Man

On Monday, September 14, 2009, a great man passed away. My great, great uncle Darel passed away. Today, I went to his funeral. When I saw him in the cascet, I swear I saw him breathing. I remeber all the stories he told me and all the funny little things about him. The only way to describe him is a funny, fun-loving, old man.

Over the past couple of years, I've memorized a few sayings about losing a loved one.

"The special ones we hold in our heart for a little while, stay in our hearts forever."-Unknown.

"We have not yet forgotten the special people in our hearts. Our heart has not forgotten our tender memories and moments. For you are too special to forget."- Unknown.

"Our love was a bond too strong to break. That bond will never seper. Even now that we are seperated."- Unknown

I will not forget you, Uncle Darel.
