We’ve been close since childhood.
Some of my best memories involve you.

You’re all I could think about.
My limbs feel so heavy.
I don’t want to move.
My mind is reeling.
I don’t want to lose you.

From minigolf to McDonald’s,
we’ve explored alleys and train tracks,
shared long walks and real talk.

You’re all I could think about,
my closest uncle.

From walks in gram’s mountain
to milles and miles of train tracks,
I’ll never forget the squirrel eating pizza,
the caves, Jackson’s Creek.

You have to be ok.
Do you hear me?

      Thank you. 🫂 He has cancer and was admitted to the hospital with an enlarged spleen. I got a message last night that he’s not doing well. I’m going to call my grandma after work to see how he’s doing. I appreciate you

        I’m so sorry to hear that. Cancer sucks. Are you able to visit him at all?

        I visited today . He’s on a ventilator and he’s not conscious. He’s in the ICU. I’m praying he comes out of this. His spleen and liver are enlarged so hopefully they can do something. Anything. He’s my closest uncle. I really don’t want to lose him

        That’s awful. My thoughts are with you and your family. Here’s hoping he still has some fight left in him and he can make it through this.
