My Uncle Eddie was my Mom’s youngest brother. Uncle Eddie and his family used to live next door to us when I was young. Eventually they moved to San Francisco, where I visited a few times. Each time I went, Uncle Eddie would drop everything. He would change his schedule so we could meet for dinner, and show us around San Francisco. Ever since I was a kid he showed us how much he loved us by always being there. He was such a great person – full of love for his family.
He was the third person in the same family to be diagnosed with some form of cancer. When his condition did not improve, I just felt sad. I didn’t want him to leave, but I knew that it was too late and his body could not fight anymore. I’m still sad that he’s no longer here, but I know God had a plan for this to happen. I will cherish the memories we shared together and the love he gave me – his nephew.
