(This is a very late post. I had it just sitting in my saved box for ever because I just had a hard time posting it)
My cousin died due to his car plunging into a canal in Florida and he was submerged under water for 20 minutes. I cannot explain the sorrow I felt when I heard the news. It was just so shocking to deal with and to believe that a man who was so vibrant was just gone like that. But the thing that hit me hardest was that he left my cousin and her 2 kids. I just felt such a sense of loss when I thought about what his loss meant to their immediate family.
It is weird that I rarely feel much pain when death occurs. But this one hit me hard because of I guess the family connection and I just cannot get over how it occurred and what was left undone.
I do not want to go into too much detail the news does a decent job on it here
Just reading the words "oldest child, 21-year-old Javeed." makes it hard to stomach...I think especially because I remember when Javeed could be held by me in one hand while holding my other cousin Andre in the other
I will miss him and my heart goes out to mi familia
I don't know you, but I read your pain. Having just lost someone who I viewed as family,I know it is hard. The wonderful thing though is they have left us so many memories.
