Today a legend passed away.
He was not involved much in my life. I hardly knew the man.
My fathers uncle. My grandmothers brother.
Kind, bigger than life, gentle, humble and clever man.
He lived a full life.
He lived through some big challenges. Hurdles that remain in your heart. Shadows that never leave.
Only now that he has left, his importance become know.
Thats what surprises me the most about this. Now that he is gone, I feel like I am missing out.
Missing that connection.
Amazing how life works. How quick we take things for granted.
That we only truly know what we have when it is gone.
Got to cherish this life. Before it leaves us.
