• I went to your grave tonight. As I looked down and saw your name; etched upon the rock, I never realized how much sadness I had inside. It's been six years; though it seems like just yesterday. I can remember everything; everything about the day I found out. I ran from my house; telling my mom she was a liar. I didn't want to believe it; my uncle was gone. Even being a fourth grader, I knew what was wrong. I missed you the second I found out the news. Six years, I just can't get over it. I think about you everyday.

• It wouldn't feel right to say I don't remember. That I don't remember your fact. Your touch I can clearly feel, but I cannot see your face. It's disappeared, but I know it's there. bear with me while I try; to make it there alone. To stand beside you, walk beside you. Be your niece once more. Nothing will ever separate us; the heavens or the hells. Everything I didn't get to say; still means the world to me. Wait for me. I'll meet you there. Never shed another tear. All is well, except for the hatred I have for myself, for never saying goodbye.
