I tried to hold in my emotions...
Yesterday, I went to a funeral home in Ann Arbor to see my Uncle Albert that passed away...Although I didn't know much about him, and didn't see him that often, I cried anyway...He spoke Spanish, so I never really understood what he was talking about at times. He was old but very active when I last saw him. I was about 8 then, and I noticed he had a passion for birds. He would always play with his bird he named Tiko-Tiko, and let him out of his cage so he would fly around the house. I also remember that when we sat at the table to visit, he would have his pad of paper, and draw me and my sister. He was wonderful with that. I recently saw him a while ago, and discovered that he had alsiemers,(sp?)so he didn't remember me..It was sad to see him that way..
At the funeral home, Taryn and I waited in the room outside of the room Uncle Albert was in...As I sat there, I was kind of sick to my stomach..I was afraid when I saw him, that I would go hysterical. So I went into the room to see him and I was all calm at first, but then with all of the ethnic music playing and the slideshow running, I blew up. I hugged my dad for comfort and all of a sudden I saw everyone else crying..Thanks to me I made everyone else cry!..(good job Rachel):(. I just couldn't hold it in though, it like built up inside me like a tower...then when it got wore out after so much stress, it crumbled and fell to the ground. It wasn't only that though..I had stress from other things..like band coming up and liking people that I'm not even sure about liking.
As Taryn, my dad, and I said goodbye to our relatives, we went to the Nike store to get Livesrtong bracelets. Our other uncle Albert is going through Chemotherapy, so we decided to get them to suppourt him. I felt so bad at the funeral home...as a was crying, I made him excited so he had to go and relax.
I give my regards to my dearest uncle Albert, so he will live peacefully in heaven with my Mother. Bless my Uncle Albert with Cancer so each living day he will get stronger little by little.. Love, Rachel
