This month as proved to be a very touching and moving month for the Cook side of this family. We lost someone who I consider to be the "Godfather" of a 13 sibling army. My grandmother is now hangout with Jesus as she tragically taken from us on May 31, 2010. Her and my uncle Al (mom's twin brother) died in a house fired at my aunts house in Memphis, TN. It's hard to think or grasp because we lost kind of 2 leaders at one time. Grandma kept everything together and I can remember when we would all gather at her house with a ton of cousins and fellowship. If you don't understand what I mean, she had over 150 grandchildren when she left here. The most touching part to the funeral was hearing a story from some family friends and how grandma gave her life to Christ. She is safe now but we still wish we could have said goodbye before you left. Uncle Al will always be remember as a hero t this family. He gave his life trying to help out grandma. We are pretty sure that he could have made it but unselfishly tried to pull out grandma. Still chokes me up knowing he took a risk to worry about others and not just Al.
While I know they had never met Charlotte and all of her glory... I kind of regret not taking the time to see my family. We rejoice in the fact that God's hand is on our family but we are not as close as we should. We knock FB and other avenues to communicate however, I have had some constant lines with my cousins because of FB. I so desire a better relationship and plan to get Leah, C and baby down soon. Besides the word going forth and Aunie's request for everyone to get saved... the reunion message was clear. Love on your family while you have them here and communicate the best way you can even if It is by FB.
God is love
