Due to the fact that I am not in Charlotte at the time... I can't make a visit to the cemetery. But this blog is going to suffice.
Wayne is my mom's bro... my uncle.
He passed in Feb. of 2004.
Very suddenly.
Definitely shook me a little. Big ass reality check...
I had never lost anyone close to me b4. And as most of my friends know... i dont know my father. And most of my friends now... never knew my unc. Except the bestie and the bro and mona...
But i know those 3 know how sooo very close i was to my uncle. You know how u have a favorite uncle. Well... he was it. I look back on things and he was more like a father figure than anything else. That's y i dont fell i missed out on the whole father thing... well after my unc passed then it hit me. So the fact that his birthday is today and father's day is tmw... is kinda perfect... in a way... one blog.
I KNOW for a fact... i couldnt have got away with half the shit i did from age 16 on if my uncle was still around. I wasnt a wild Maury kid or anything... i still did well in school. Its just outside of school... MAN... good times tho. Its scary shit to know that my uncle probably can c everything that i do lol i probably would have got hit... and still get hit for the mess i pull. But in a way he's still here with me... b/c somethings I want to do but then in the back of my mind its like Wayne would not approve... nvm.
Plus... idk if u can tell from that pick... but my uncle was tall!... I want to say that he was one of the tallest males in the fam... and it wouldnt be far fetched to say I am one of the tallest females... b/c i have short ass cuzzo's lol
I really do miss my uncle.... i cried a little few min. ago.... just thinkin how awesome it would be to get a call from him now... or during college bball season specifically lol... i get it from him... my love of march madness is all him... well my mother yells at the tv more than me BUT... my uncle was a baller in high school and college sooo my ma got in to it b/c of him also. I know i would have out did him in the brackets this yr... he was a UNC fan... YUCK. I remember when i was like 6 or 7 ish. Someone asked me who was my fav team i said DUKE!!! hell i didnt really know... i just wanted to go against my uncle HAHA! Ya see y i couldnt go to that school right...? :)
ANYWHO...
Happy Birthday Wayne!
Happy Father's Day....
Ya def live on thru me
I miss ya....
& Happy Flag Day lol (cant forget that one haha)
sounds like he is still alive in your heaert
ReplyDeleteWOOOWWW!That made me cry and I completely understand cus he was also the closest thing to a father that I ever had.My dad didn't have the densency(spellcheck,please!) to show up at my graduation and it was times like those that i really missed uncle wayne.18th birthday came, Prom rolled by, then graduation....and i started seriously dating.i REALLY needed him cus these are all some of life's major milestones. It's hard because you plan your life around the belief that you will always have a person there...and I planned my whole life around him. That kinda pain never goes away it just gets easier to deal with day-by-day. So it's gon be really hard the day i move in to school cus my life wil really start to take off. im gon need him to be there for me....the day i graduate again....and again....start a family and getting married...starting my career....i even planned on him giving me away...but if this is the way God would have it, then the thats the way it shall be.Bu at least we have POOH!He is so funny...you know he shouted and then cried at my graduation...WHOO!...that was funny....well it was when he got done...But I did noticed that he looks just like you...I mean JUST like you...Soooooooooooooooooo
