After a great day of working out and
finding a song that I had been searching for on YouTube for some time, I came
across the saddest news on my answering machine.
I found out that my uncle who lives
overseas had passed away over the weekend. This literally made me stand still.
I hadn’t eaten at all the entire day and my starvation went away automatically.
I felt frozen in time and after alerting my family I broke down in tears. That’s
all I’ve been doing since the call.
I get waves of sadness where I think of
growing up with him. Shared birthdays, laughs and how alike we were. It saddens
me greatly that I will not see him again or hear his voice.
I feel a little more alone in this world as
my close blood relatives has now been reduced to two people, my mum and my
grandmother. I know that we will all leave this world at some point but I am
feeling a little bit more alone in life.
