This is kind of more for myself, but you can read it if you would like.
Yesterday, around 3:25 I got picked up from school, coming home to see grieving faces. They tell me my uncle/Godfather had taken his life earlier that day. I don't understand what would drive someone to do that, and I will always have unanswered questions. He was a VERY good singer, he actually was an Elvis impersonator for many years and was about to get into that again. And a fantastic chef. He owned Furlongs and Steakhouse Express with my dad. Lived a pretty well life, but apparently he just wasn't very happy.
Sometime last week, I was at work and we were all cutting up and laughing and stuff and he takes me aside and tells me that when he passes, he wants me to have all of his singing equipment. And that he really thinks I can make it one day. I laughed at him like he was crazy, but now, I am very determined. I know he believed in me. Probably more than anybody else out there. Mom walked in my room yesterday to check on me, I was just sitting at my computer singing, a few tears every now and then, and she asked me if I had any questions, we got through all of those and she handed me a CD, it was one of him singing. I haven't listened to it yet.. but I will sooner or later..
Now we are off to Louisiana to be with our family and memorial services.
My family really needs your prayers.. please.
I am so determined to do something with my singing now.. its unreal.
