This past Friday my uncle passed away. It wasn't unexpected, but it's still so sad. This is the first time someone close to me has passed away since mama died and it has brought back a lot of memories that are kind of hard to deal with.
My uncle and his family aren't LDS. I'm not exactly sure what their views are on life after death, but the morning he passed away I couldn't get this image out of my head of my grandpa (his dad) just waiting there to meet him. And I just knew that my grandpa was so happy to see him. Part of me hopes that my mom was there too because I know she loves him too. I hope they're friends and get to hang out together sometimes.
For me it has been really comforting for me to picture all my loved ones (Mom, grandma Irene, grandpa Howard and all those I know I love but don't remember) up there watching out for me. Now one more is added to the list. I've been praying constantly that his family would be able to feel him watching over them.
