Lost

It's been a week, I don't have any updates. Tragedy struck my family last Tuesday evening, and I have no idea where I am with the list of all we had to do for Gavin. I'm hoping sometime this week, we can get back on track. Our days are filled with being with my grandma and aunt from early morning until 10, 11pm each night. My house is a disaster, my thoughts are racing and my heart is broken.

Please say a quick prayer for my family. There are so many people affected by such a tragic, sudden loss of a wonderful man, my uncle, taken so senselessly. He leaves behind a beautiful wife and two young boys.

Please hug those around you. My uncle was returning from an outing with his wife and son. Pulled up to his driveway, walked to get his mail from the front yard, and was killed.

Just like that.

My aunt and cousin witnessed the horror. He was 42 years old.

I just don't understand life sometimes. My heart is torn. It aches for my dad who lost his baby brother, for my wonderful grandma who lost her youngest child, and for his wife who lost her life partner. My cousins will go through life not having their father by their side, like he was everyday.

I am just lost. Spiritually, emotionally, and mentally.

I hope as the days go by, I can gain strength, and my heart can heal from all the pain I feel for my entire family. We are very close knit, and to see my family endure such pain is something I have never experienced, nor can put into words.

Love you uncle Richie.
