Going Through Hell in One Week

April 2017, the month my life would change forever. Two of the greatest people in my life passed away within three days of each other, my uncle and his mom, my mamaw. First I’m gonna explain a little about my uncle. He was a really tall man. He had a funny personality and was loved by so many. A wife who is really short with four kids and a lot of grand children. My uncle was only forty seven. He was and still my favorite. I know you should not say who was and was not your favorite, but everyone does it. He passed just three days before my grandmother, his mom. She was my best friend, my go to, my diary. She was the person I told everything to, all of my secrets and my problems, what some might call my own counselor. This woman was stubborn and did not take anything from anyone. She had cancer and did not let it try and break her down. Seven years is a long time to be living with it, but she did. Like I said, as stubborn as a mule. I never thought they would be gone so soon, but they are. I hate it and can not even think that they are actually gone. I am still in denial. She had many great grandchildren, one of which is my son, who just turned one.
