My uncle died today (my father's older brother) from liver cancer complications. *sigh* It got me to thinking about one's mortality and how fleeting life is. We really don't have a lot of time on earth. What you do with the time with it should be meaningful to you because you only have one shot. I try not to fuck it up. My mother was guilt tripping me to live closer to my family, but its hard because I am only twenty three and if I don't do this now then I don't think I'll have time to do it later on. I need to be here in New York, not because of anyone but myself. Selfish as that may be, its true. I just wish that my family was closer to me at this time of grief. I hope my cousin LC takes care of herself and the baby she's carrying. Her father was a good man, he was kind-hearted and loving towards his family. Rudhy, LC, Desi, and Auntie - my condolences to you all at this time of grief. You have done him proud. To my own father, I know you grew up with your older brother helping you by your side, you don't express openly so my prayers are with you daddy and for your health. I love you mommy & daddy and I wish I could be there with you both, I miss you.
