Wow. It feels like just yesterday...
Goodness. I haven't realized how long it's been.
(Yes, this is one of my sad Journals where I let my feelings out about my Uncle when he passed away. So, go ahead and click back if you don't care about my personal life. I wouldn't blame you.)
It feels like just yesterday that dad woke me up saying that my Uncle Mark died the night before. It feels like just yesterday that I was home alone all day, while Mom and Dad went up to my Aunt's house two hours away to comfort her in her time of need. It feels like just yesterday that I lost my Uncle.
2:00 AM - I wake up for no reason. But, for some reason, I'm kind of scared. I shrug it off and go back to bed.
5:00 AM - I wake up again and feel like I want to cry. I cry myself back to sleep, but I wonder why I'm crying.
7:00 AM - Dad comes in and sits on my bed. He wakes me up, and he's crying.
Jill: What's wrong, Dad?
Dad: Your Uncle Mark passed away last night.
Jill: *starts crying* H-how did he die?
Dad: We don't know. Your Aunt just got up around 2 to take the dog out and when she came back to bed, she noticed he wasn't breathing. She tried to wake him up, but he wouldn't, so she called 911. He died around 2 and your Aunt was up all night, crying with the kids.
*Dad walks out*
Isn't it funny that I wake up at 2:00 AM, scared, and my Uncle died at 2:00 AM?
Isn't it funny that I wake up at 5:00 AM, wanting to cry, and two hours away, my Aunt and cousins are crying over the loss of her husband/their dad?
That was about three years ago, and I still wonder everyday why he had to go.
My Aunt is so strong. She made it through this with the help of her family and friends. And for that, I look up to her.
Has anything like this ever happened to any of you?
Rest In Peace, Uncle Mark<3

Wow, you must have been really close to him for that to happen. They say people who love each other very much, like family, can sense trouble for the other person.
So sorry about your uncle.
Rest In Peace.
