One of my older cousins…
Posted on: February 9, 2011
… died (yeah, I was tired & it was late & I was pretty sad when I wrote this) in a motorcycle accident last week. It is beyond sad. He was young (50) & full of life. He had a beautiful wife & children & the kids are all grown up & gone. They had everything but now he’s gone home. Someday we’ll all be there w/ him but for right now he gets to be w/ all of the grandparents & other loved ones who’ve gone before.
I’m sad for his loving wife, children, parents, siblings, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles & cousins. I’m sad for me as one of his cousins. I didn’t know him as well as I’d like but I’ve been crying off & on. I’m grateful for those tears even though I know we’ll live again & see each other again.
Alain, I know you fought the good fight & now it’s your turn to go home. Hug Grandma & Grandpa for me. Enjoy your peace. You’ve earned it.
