My Trip To Tennessee

This summer I went to Tennessee to see my Uncle Chuck. My Uncle Chuck had 2 daughters, Lauren and Sailor. I went to Tennessee because my Uncle Chuck had cancer in his brain and he wanted to have a family reunion before he passed away. My uncle told my ma maw that he would like my family to be there and my ma maw wanted to keep it a surprised that we would be there but instead told him we were coming and he busted into tears. My ma maw told us what happened and after that we spent the day with her then went to sleep because the next day was the reunion.
Before we left for the reunion we had to put some food into my ma maw's car then went off to the reunion. When we arrived at the reunion, my uncle chuck wasn't there yet and didn't come till a hour later. I was a little nervous going to see my Uncle Chuck because the last time i seen him was 2 summers ago when he didn't have cancer and i didn't know what to except. When i seen my uncle I couldn't go near him because I was crying so hard. He looked so different. His face was swollen so was pretty much the rest of his body he couldn't move his right hand at all he had to have someone else move it for him or he had to use his left hand to move it. He gain so much weight i barely recognized him! He was bald and you could see his scares from hes precious surgeries. It was horrible to see a love one like this and trying not to cry in front of him. but i had to try my hardest and i walked up to him and gave him a hug and said hello then walked away in tears. After a while I was better and went sleeping with me cousin Sailor until we both left.
That night my family and I went to my Uncle's house. My cousin Sailor was bored and so was I, so we went upstairs to her room and played dress up. With every outfit we had on we went down stairs to show everyone and my mother and uncle took pictures. The look on my uncle's face showed us he was happy and it made me smile.
Then a couple hours later we left his house and packed a little of our stuff because the next day we would leave in the evening, but before we were going to go back home we stopped to visit my uncle and i met my papaw for the first time. We ate an amazing steak dinner! And after dinner we took pictures because my mother is a "let me take you picture" freak. So after we took a bunch of pictures we said our goodbyes and left to my ma maw's house to get our stuff, then left for home.

On Sunday, July 22nd, 2012 my Uncle Chuck passed away. There's not a day that passes by where i do not think of him.
