Last friday I welcome my 30th birthday not how I wanted to but it came, and I thank God for allowing to me see another birthday and my 30th at that. See my 30th birthday was supposed to be a time of celebration, but I lost my uncle on Wednesday and his service was Friday and burial was Saturday morning. Before everything let's rewind a few days, and let me tell you that we got the bad news that he wasn't doing good and he was not going to make it all on my grandma birthday. Yes all this has happen around our birthdays and every time our birthdays come around will be celebrating, but at the same time we will also remember my uncle. We celebrated another year of life while remembering my uncle in a wonderful service and with the people that loved him. It's been hard but knowing he became an angel a few days after my grandma's birthday, and few days before my birthday brings comfort to my and my grandma heart knowing he's not suffering nor in pain anymore.
Here is a little summary of my uncle:
He had diabetes, he lost both of his legs due to diabetes, he was on kidney dialysis as well as on lots of meds, he was always in and out of doctor offices and the hospital. Every time he got admit into the hospital he would return home this time he didn't make it home, but instead made it home to his gold mansion in the words of the father at his mass. My uncle was a one of a kind who would help others when he can and when he could, and would not say no to nobody even if he was feeling sick. He found strength every time he got sick, but this time around he was tired and ready to be with his dad/my grandpa. He loved to dance, his tejano music, love to bbq, and love his family and extended family and friends, he also love to go to bbq cook off, be in cook off, and was strong in faith.
Knowing that we would celebrate his life and say our see you laters on my birthday bought tears to eyes, but bought peace to my heart.
My birthday was a time to celebrate and I was thankful for that day, but I just wasn't in the mood to celebrated this pass weekend. But even with the circumstances my friends and loved ones still made this girl feel special. All my birthday wishes I got from text, facebook, or even at my uncle service bought a little joy to my heart including the hugs.
Not the way I wanted to celebrate, but I know I will have another day to celebrate once everything calms down so stay tuned. But I was happy to be there for my uncle in his last final moments and be there for my mom and grandma, I would not have had it any other way.
Talk about going out and welcoming my 30th with bang not how I wanted too but that's what God had plan this time around.
After all this I'm grateful for my uncle and the 29 years and 2 days I had will him, he may be gone but he won't be forgotten.
Now let's see what's in store for me in my 30s and everyday I get with my husband, son, and loved ones will be a blessing and I will not take for granted.
Again stay tuned to see what's in store for my 30th birthday as the celebration will happen eventually, and in my 30s!!!
