At first I thought losing you was just temporary.
You'd wait up in Heaven with Uncle Mark and Tara
and Stanford and Grandma Jackie and Grandma Connie
and Grampy Doug and Granny Annie and Grandpa Gene.
I thought I'd lost you for a little bit but not forever.
I thought I'd lost all of them for a little bit but not forever.
It hurt so much when you left that I wanted to rip myself in two
but I was comforted because you wouldn't be gone forever.
But I was wrong.
Losing you isn't temporary at all…
because I never lost you at all.
You're there every time I feel a cool breeze on a too-hot summer day
Every time your granddaughter smiles
Every time a firefly blinks just long enough for me to grab it.
Every time I close my eyes and see your grinning face reflected on the inside of my eyelids.
And you are up in Heaven, waiting with my uncles and aunts and grandparents and sister,
but you're here, too,
in hearts and memories
and happy smiles and careless laughs
and desperate tears and broken sobs
you're always there just when I need you to be there.
So I promise I'll never forget,
and I'll remember to look for you in everything, everday.
And someday when I'm old I'll tell my beautiful babies about the great-uncle they never got to meet…
not in this life, anyway,
and of the way he always laughed at everything
and made every situation a little less tense.
I'll tell them how he never wanted to be a burden on anybody
and how great he looked on a Harley,
and how silly he could be.
I'll tell them that he loves me
And that he loves them, too.
And you'll be there in their hearts, just like you are in mine.
So for now, even if it hurts and I can't help crying sometimes
just like I am right now
I won't be too sad.
Because why mourn for someone who's not even gone?

"Near,
Far,
Wherever you are,
I believe that the heart does go on..."
I was listening to this song and it reminded me so much of my Uncle who passed away recently...so I decided I'd write a bit of a poem. I was crying so bad the whole time...haha...
I love you, Uncle Greg.
And all the rest of my crazy family that's gone before me to meet the Big Guy! I love all of you so much...
