Time is a thief while watching a little one grow. However, when mourning a loss, it doesn’t pass quickly enough.
This morning I woke up thinking how my cousin should have been 40 today. I couldn’t help to be overwhelmed by not just what he missed but also what he might have accomplished.
He never got to go to prom.
He never got to graduate high school.
He never got to be engaged or married.
He never got to have his own family.
He never got to be successful.
Passing at 17, changed his family but also his extended family. We will never know what life would have been like with him here these past 23 years.
I wish we could be celebrating this milestone with him. Instead, we are missing him more today than ever.
Happy 40th David. 💔
