So the other day I found out one of my uncles... my moms favorite cousins passed away from cancer the other day, so I am doing my best to be as supportive of my family especially my mom...
today was the day for friends and family to view the body... tomorrow is the funeral service for him and I think tomorrow is when I will probably meet all the cousins from all over the place, that I never knew existed...
my Uncle was a very well known pastor in San Francisco, by the name of Edmond Wong. When I hear stories of him, I know he was a great man, an awesome cousin and an even better friend... to those who knew him well...
another interesting piece of history that I found out today was that he was my fathers best man in my parents' wedding (back in the day, of course) as well as other stuff I have heard about him that just really made me wish I knew him morethan I did...
From my understanding, I was fortunate enough to meet him while he was in his walk with the lord, went to hear him minister once or twice...
not saying he was ever a bad person, but it is my understanding that in his lifetime, he went from one extreme to the next, in a good way... please dont get that wrong... that is all for now... I will try and check in tomorrow after the funeral service... if I even have the energy... if not tomorrow, as soon as I get the opportunity to remember to check in here with my fans... =)
