Kelley Carter Instagram – I always try to find the positivity in even the most saddest of occasions.
Struggling here.
To really know me is to know how much I talked about my Uncle Cecil. My mom’s baby brother. My babysitter. My uncle who would — and did — trip new boyfriends when they walked in a room and wrestle them down to the ground … he was always so playful. And while he never tripped my husband when he first met him, he told me he liked him immediately and could tell he was a good human.
He prayed over us because he was a believer. And the day after my wedding — and strangely enough I only realized I had this voice mail earlier this morning — he left a beautiful message for us where he prayed some more. I have several voice mails from him. I’m so glad I saved them.
In our last convo — which was last week before he had a massive heart attack and was on life support for the last week — he told me “… I’m coming out to LA to visit you and my nephew!”
I’m devastated that we can’t make that happen. Uncle Cecil died this morning and I know I’m rambling but I want you all to know about my sweet, silly uncle who loved karate and Sugar Ray Leonard and was always the silliest person in the room.
I’ll miss you immensely, Cecil. ❤️ | Posted on 17/Mar/2024 21:48:09
