RAGE!
LET ME BACK TRACK...BECAUSE I KNOW MOST OF YOU WON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I AM SO NAGRY AND HURT. THIS PAST THURSDAY; MY COUSIN JACK PASSED AWAY IN AN UNTIMELY MOMENT IN HIS LIFE. HE WAS ONLY 49 YEARS OLD, AND HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CELEBRATING. HE HAD BEEN CELEBRATING, HE WAS ALIVE AND LOVING LIFE. I WON'T PRETEND THAT JACK AND I WERE UUBER CLOSE...BUT WE WERE CLOSE. AND HE WAS THE TYPE OF MAN THAT WAS THERE FOR YOU, WHEN YOU NEEDED HIM. HE WAS FUNNY, SMART, AND FULL OF LIFE.
JACK HAD MET A VERY NICE WOMAN BY THE NAME OF TISH, AND AFTER DATING FOR MANY YEARS, HE DECIDED TO POP THE QUESTION AND MAKE HER HIS WIFE. THIS WAS A MAN, WHO NEVER WANETD TO GET MARRIED...WHO HAD LOST GIRLFRIENDS IN THE PAST DUE TO HIS RELUNCTEDNESS TO SETTLE DOWN. BUT LAST YEAR HE DECIDED THAT HE WANTED TO TAKE THAT NEXT BIG STEP...AND BECOME TISH'S HUSBAND, PARTNER, AND EXPAND OUR FAMILY. WE WERE ALL ELATED. TISH IS FUNNY, CARING, AND WAS GOOD FOR JACK.
JACK WAS NEVER TRADITIONAL...AND WE ALL ACCEPTED THAT HE MARCHED TO THE BEAT OF HIS OWN DRUM. HE HAD TRAVLED THE WORLD, GOING TO SUCH PLACES SUCH AS TIBET, CHINA, EGYPT, AND BUTON TO NAME A FEW PLACES WHEN HE HAD BEEN A FINE ARTS PACKEST. HE LIKED TO WEAR HIS HAIR LONG...VERY LONG, AND HE HAD SOME VERY UNIQUE FRIENDS. BUT THIS WAS JACK. SO WHEN HE AND TISH ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A DESTINATION WEDDING IN JAMAICA, THE WEST INDIES....WE WERE ALL NOT SURPRISED. YET WE WERE DISAPPOINTED AS NONE OF OUR FAMILY WOULD BE GOING TO JOIN THEM FOR THE WEDDING CERAMONY DUE TO THE COST OF THE TRIP. JACK AND TISH WERE NOT AT ALL OFFENDED OR HURT BECAUSE THEY WERE PLANNING A WEDDING RECEPTION BACK IN NY, ON MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND FOR ALL THEIR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES TO CELEBRATE THEIR WEDDED BLISS WITH THEM.
THIS PAST WEDNESDAY, JACK AND TISH JETTED OFF TO JAMAICA, AWAITING THE DAY WHERE THEY'D BE PRONOUNCED MAN AND WIFE (WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN 5/19/07.) THURSDAY THEY PICKED UP SOME FRIENDS FROM THE AIRPORT, WHO WERE IN THEIR WEDDING PARTY, AND WENT BACK TO THEIR HOTEL TO SHOWER AND THEN HAVE SOME DINNER. SOMETIME BEFORE 6PM ON THURSDAY, JACK SUFFERED A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK AND PASSED AWAY.
THIS MAN WAS CHEATED OF A FUTURE. HIS FIANCEE WAS CHEATED OF GROWING OLD WITH THE MAN SHE LOVED. MY FAMILY WAS CHEATED OF ONE OF THE MOST INTRIGUING MEMBERS OF OUR 'CLAN.' WHY WAS HE SNATCHED FROM US NOW? HE HAD CHEATED DEATH ONCE BEFORE, AS YEARS AGO HE WAS IN A HORRIFIC CAR ACCIDENT, AND ALMOST DECAPITATED. WHY WOULD GOD OR WHOEVER YOU BELIEVE IN, LET HIM AND US SURVIVE THAT, ONLY TO STEAL HIM FROM US NOW? WHY WOULD GOD LET HIM PASS AWAY WITHOUT ANY OF HIS BROTHERS OR SISTER, OR REST OF THE FAMILY NEAR BY HIM? I DON'T UNDERSTAND, AND THIS MAKES ME ANGRY. BECAUSE I THOUGHT GOD WAS A LOVING ENTITY...ONE WHO DID NOT HURT. WHY WOULD HE CALL JACK HOME, JUST BEFORE HE MARRIED....JUST WHEN WE WAS TAKING THE NEXT STEP IN LIFE? WHY WOULD GOD PUT JACK'S FAMILY THROUGH THE TORTURE OF TRYING TO GET HIS BODY BACK TO THE STATES, OF HAVING TO CANCEL A WEDDING, OF TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OUT OF AN UNTIMELY DEATH? WHERE IS GOD NOW? AND WHY WOULD HE NOT ALLOW ANY OF US TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO SOMEONE WE LOVE? I AM ANGRY....
