I went to the VA Medical Center, where my dad works, around 5-6pm! I was already crying in the car cause I knew I felt like I wouldn't be able to see my Uncle in a hospital bed but right when I saw my cousin I started balling more tears! The thought of him with cancer killed me a lot and knowing this time it was one of my close family members made it a lil worse. He surprisingly said my name and when he looked at me, he said "give her $150 for 3 years" hahaha! That seriously cracked me up, and he was still the funny uncle crackin' jokes even in a hospital bed. There were a few times where we got scared that he stopped breathing but he was okay.
The room got full so my cousin Dian and I went to the waiting room but mainly ran around the medical center being stupid and having fun in a sad atmosphere. It was awesome.
After being stupid around the medical center, Monique, Dian, and I were seriously desperate for food or
ahem, Starbucks, and after trying to persuade Dwayne, we finally got him to take us to Starbucks! We went into the wrong plaza for it so we went on the other side and found it!
1 Mocha cookie crumble, 1 Chai tea frapp with caramel, 1 White chocolate frapp with biscotti (Biscotti Frapp), and I totally forgot what Monique ordered but yup 4 drinks to go! It was my first time trying the Biscotti frapp and it was awesome ^__^ I thought it sucked how I had to buy a biscotti in order to make it a Biscotti frapp, this starbucks venue does not know secret menu drinks lol, shame! We then went back to chill and everyone left except my family and of course the Divino's. I went to go say good bye to my Uncle Jesse for the last time and prayed for the best. We left around 930ish pm and the next morning I actually got news that he passed away at 11pm .... 2 hours from when we left. It sucked, a lot and I couldn't help but cry. He was a true fighter that night though and his time had to come, but I'm glad God seriously blessed him with a day of all his loved ones to go see him while he was still alive :') I love you Uncle Jesse, please watch over your family and friends with the man above! I'll definitely be praying for Aunty Lou, Ate Jasmin, Natalia, and Donna! I love you Uncle Jesse Divino, Thank you for everything! <3
And that is how my day went on May 23rd..... Ah. God is good, and life is definitely precious so do all the daring things you want to do! Life is truly short and I rather live it memorable than regretful for things I wasn't able to experience. Again, I love you Uncle Jesse, and may you now rest in peace :')
xoxo,
