Missing a loved one

My life has gotten so hectic lately that you would think I wouldn't have time to miss any one. There are times though that those from the other side of the veil seem so close you could just reach out for a hug. I wish I could feel that hug, from my Uncle Owen. He was an amazing person, and I have been missing him so much lately. Any time I had a question all I had to do was ask him and he had such a way of explaining everything. so I understood more than I could ever have thought possible. I find myself talking to people and bringing up things he taught, I find myself asking others if they have thought about him recently. I've only found one other person who feels the way I do and has been thinking about him and remembering his words. At one point he told me he wanted to be my grandpa. I felt so special and loved, that he thought that much of me. It meant a lot too because at the time, one of my grandfathers had passed away and I wasn't really all that close to the other one.

I wonder when you have struggles in this life if those who we loved on this earth come a little closer to help us remember the good times, and keep us focused on what we need to be about doing. There have been times in my life when I felt my life was being orchestrated for a purpose unknown to me. This is one of those times especially in going back to school, I wonder what could be around the corner. Why is Uncle Owen on my mind so much? maybe he's in heaven guiding and helping me along this unknown path
