so i am officially in north carolina in a hotel... where tomorrow i will see my uncle for the first time in a little less than a year... but unfortunately he will be in a casket... its hard death... its especially hard to watch people such as the men in this family on the edge of tears every moment.. its hard to be the tough one... im not used to it.. but being the only person out of my immediate family here other than my dad i know i need to be there for him...

tomorrow is going to be rough.. its going to be long and hard and well there are going to be a lot of tears...

but its ok cause i know this family... i know we can get through this... if anyone actually reads this... just please if you get a chance tomorrow in the hustle and bustle of your day... pray peace on my family...

it will be hard... but we have one thing that still remains and thats family... and this bond will never die.

peace and love,

emily
