Some of my cousins!
What is this thing we call life? I mean… what’s the point? We struggle just about our whole lives for what? Retirement? A so-called nest egg that never existed? Well, keep being delusional if that’s what you want! My perception and the way I now live has changed dramatically. My faith has grown exponentially in this short time period. I haven’t posted in over a week now and I will explain why. My aunt that lives in Louisiana passed away from stage IV lung cancer! Wow! This is why! My sister, brother, cousin and I drove down here from NYC. And ever since we gotten the news my thoughts have been convoluted about this fact. God’s plan can not be discerned or guessed so don’t even think about it! It’s moments like these when I start to get what I call “flashes of infinity!” This is when the scope and magnitude of my condition comes to the forefront of my thoughts. I never liked these “flashes”. So my self remedy is faith and belief in the Almighty! Well anyway, most of my immediate family is buried down here in Maringouin, Louisiana so we went to visit their graves. The crypt where my mom, dad, older brother and grandfather lay is in disrepair! And it’s at this point when I got an epiphany! The gravesite is in that condition for only one reason… us! By “us” I mean my siblings and I! The last time we came here was eight years ago when our mom was laid to rest. Now, we’re here for another funeral! We are on the road now heading back to NYC so I will continue and finish this in Pt 2. Peace and blessings!
