When I was growing up as a kid my uncle was someone that was really important to my life, and I had never imagined how my life would be without him. Since I was still a kid I did not fully understand what death meant. Even though I wasn't able to see my uncle as much as I wanted to because he was in jail a lot. Luckily, I was able to make the moments that I did share with my uncle meaningful because we would always have fun together, and we shared a lot of laughs together. After my uncle passed away it made me realize that no one lives forever and that you could lose your loved ones any day. It was hard for me at first to go on with my life because this was the first time, I lost someone that was really close to me, but over time I realized that there is nothing that I could do to change what happen so ever since then I have just been living my life and working hard to make my uncle proud of me. Ever since I lost my uncle, I have kept his holy card in my room because that is the only thing that I have left to represent my uncle.
