And we didnt find out about dying intil yesterday it's just hard to think that some one could hit someone and just leave them laying in the road yes i understand that the young man was scared i would have been to but i would have at least stoped to see if he was still alive and call 911.. What if the man would have stoped are dad could still be alive. there is just much that we don't understand like why did this happend?? Why is the man not in jail right now?...

We're having my uncle's funeral today. Im going to miss him so much. He was the kind of person who would do anything for anyone, even if he didn't care much for them. My uncle Sam took time to show me how to find the light of God and what it meant to truely love Him. My little girl and my uncle were really close. I know her heart is breaking, I can see it in her eyes. I can still see them together in church sitting together, her talking to him about the bible. He loved to watch my son and my daughter in their plays. I think most of all, Im going to miss having us all at my moms having dinner together. I will miss you uncle, may you find your way to heaven where I will see you again some day.
