HI all – today I’m writing about someone that is special to me and I hope they see it.
Love!
We love in different ways? The love for husband, a child, mother, a father, an Aunt, an Uncle, a sister a brother, nieces, or nephew a grand-child. Even love our pets.
As human being, we love with our heart if we are lucky enough to find our true love. We celebrate birthday’s, anniversaries giving life. True love is rare, but it exists. One relies on each other, one fight for each other we even cry for each other. This doesn’t make us weak it makes us stronger.
Love is easy when you give your heart to someone that respect it. Cherish it, as you cherish his/hers. Some people may appreciate the gift of one another, and others don’t.
With love, there is pain and sorrow, and hurt. Recently my favorite Uncle has been suffering, you see he has pancreas cancer. Let me tell you I hate that word – CANCER – they say it’s the incurable one. Let me tell you something about my Uncle. He’s the most generous, loving, helpful, handing to have around. He’s the type of person that could never say “NO” because that is who he his.
I love him with all my heart, he’s been like a second dad to me. He can never replace my dad because I do love my dad. But have you ever had a favorite uncle or Aunt, that took you in no question asked? That saved you, that tough you how two people should love each other. How the respected each other, through a hard time, and joyous times. That is what both my Aunt and Uncle did for me, they loved me, they showed me how to love. I’ve never taken them for granted, I cherish every moment, we had with each other. Lately, my heart has been crying, because if I could, I would love to take away his pain. Make him live a little longer, but the Cancer is winning. I would like for them to see another NOVA SCOTIA sunrise or sunset.
They are the most loving people on this earth. My heart is aching lately because soon my Uncle will lose this battle he has with Cancer. He’s a fighter, I don’t understand why God is taking him from us. I wish he could live forever, but life doesn’t work that way. It takes a strong woman to stand by his side, and my Aunt is the most influential person that I know. That is how much those two hearts love each other they have been together for 55 years, or is it 56! That is how strong their love is.
Every day I text her to see how she’s doing because I don’t know if anyone has ever asked her the question? It’s not easy, seeing someone you loved all your life getting weaker. And seeing the pain in his face, even if he’s not complaining. I wish I could do more, I wish I were there to hold them to say to them I love them. I never took them for granted what they offered. I respected them, and I would give anything I have to make them whole again. But life doesn’t work that way, unfortunately.
Life is too short for regrets, we need to embrace it, tell someone you love how much you love them. How much they mean to you. Because one day they might not be there to reciprocate.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
Cheers
Brenda
