So today I got a text from my mom saying, "Gabriel call your dad...his brother passed away today..." then, a feeling of absolute confusion overcame me & and I just played In my bed and closed my eyes. I was confused rather than upset, at first, because I was perplexed about which uncle It could be. I didn’t know what to do, besides call my dad, but I was scared and didn’t want to. 5 minutes passed by, and I finally mustered up enough courage to call my dad. Just as In the movies, the phone seemed like It was ringing for eternity and 9 lifetimes later, he answered the phone...
to try to ease the mood, I greeted my dad with a concerned tone of voice. We exchanged "hello's" and then I asked my father, "How are you doing?"
he responded by saying, "your uncle Aaron passed away."
My dad sounded like he was trying to hold tears back, and the mood on the phone, as expected, was extremely somber.
I broke the silence by saying, "what was the cause of death?"
I just didn’t want to foolishly say, "how did he die?"
my father responded, "lung cancer."
we then exchanged a little more ovation, and then a few more moment the phone call was over. I then grieved for a few moments...and Immediately after, I didn’t know what to feel or think...
