I know many people come on here with a short description of their loved ones describing their life journey to the world. This however for me, will be a long one. I lost my favorite uncle , my uncle lewis last month and it took a lot out of me for some ime. One of the hardest things i had o cope with ever in my 26 years on this planet. A short description of his wonderful man wouldn't do him justic so I'm going to apologize for the length of his in advance.
My Uncle, Lewis N. Poe was born the same day as me, January 20,1951 to Lewis Moore and Annie Poe. We often called him "Smiley" because he smiled so much.(LOL) He attended school in Starkville, Mississippi and graduated from Henderson High School in 1969. I recall my father telling me stories of how my uncle used to help take care of him when he was younger. Lewis had gifted hands..you could bring a car to him that was not working and he would have it up and running in no time.
He worked for Weavexx for over 30 years and was married to Lue Gene Poe for 39 years. They have 5 lovely children.
I was told that my uncle Lewis began starting to sleep more than usual in December 2008 which was not like him. He was often found sleeping standing up, or working on a car and falling asleep while doing so. Strangely at the same time(and I had no idea of any of this until after his death) I too was feeling extremely sleepy and had a hard time staying awake. I fell asleep at work which I have never done in the 5 years I have worked at my job. And i was not stresed and I also had plenty of sleep..
Later he had shortness of breath the following weeks, yet never went to the doctor. Some people said he knew he was sick but did not want to tell anyone about it.
On January 21st, which would be the final time he spoke to me he told me how much he loved me and how proud he was of me going back to college because I had dropped out to take care of my sickly son who was born prematurely. We laughed and joked as usual. I recall teling him happy belated birthday and he did the same for me. My 2 kids talked to him and he asked my daugther what she was doing. She told him she was eating cheetoes (flameing hot is her favorite). He said he wanted some and she said, "Ill have my mommy buy you some and we will put it in the mailbox"...(LOL) He asked me was I upset with him about something because previously in July at our family outting I didnt speak as much to him as I usually did. I did not think I was acting strangely that day but he told me that he thought I was. I told him I would never be mad at him and had no reason to be..I guess I was just having one of those days. Then he told me he was getting in shape this year and that he promises to keep in better contact with me calling more..he also told me he was going to send me something nice for my birthday. I am 26 now and I told him it didnt matter what he sent I would appreciate it greatly. The last thing I told him before he hung up was that I loved him.
On January 26th my uncle called his aunt and told her he loved her. He also spoke with my grandmother(his mom) and she said "Baby, you sound like you are short on breath why don't you lay down". Prior to him going to sleep, his daughter in law noticed a rattle from his chest. She also kept hearing the sound of horns that nobody else could hear. She kept asking those in the house do you hear those horns playing and eveyone said no. At 9pm he went to bed. He was pronounced dead early the following morning on the 27th. He died in his sleep. The coroner said he died before midnight, yet my cousin claims she heard him snoring at 2am. So they(my family) believe he died between 4am and 6am. His alarm clock went off at 4am as usual and he did not jump up to turn it off like usual. My aunt shook him and he was stiff as a board, yet under his neck and his stomach was still very warm. No autopsy was performed, but the coroner said it appeared he died of a massive heart attack or stroke due to the fact that his fist were tightly balled up. Even the funeral director could not unball them. I found out the news at 5:45am in the morning when my aunt called and told me. It was like a world of devastation for me. i couldn't eat, sleep, or breathe and I started to have chest pains shortly afterwards. Weirdly that night I could not sleep(prior to my aunt calling). I kept on tossing and turning so when I received the news I was already wide awake. I was weeping, screaming, and crying. I looked up at my ceiling and asked he lord why, why did you do this to us? It was a that moment I felt a cool breeze behind me. It felt like a fan blowing out very cold air on my lower back. Startled I turned around only to see nothing. A few hours later I closed my eyes and I had a vision. I am known for having visions of deceased relatives more on that later though.
I had a vision (not a dream)I saw my uncle in my bedroom a few feet from my bed staring at me with a long tear comming down his face. He looked so sad and pitiful. It startled me and I opened my eyes only to see nobody standing there. Now I know why my cousin heard the sound of the trumpets. Angels were blowing them for him because they knew it was his time. After seeing my uncle with the tear in his eyes, I honestly feel like that was him telling me goodbye and it was hard for him to do so. He was not ready to leave this earth but it was his time to go.
I miss my Uncle very much and he meant so much to me. I can not wait till the day where I can see his smiling face again in Heaven.
Angels melody
Floating, swirling gracefully,
Like a whisper in the wind;
A silent peaceful presence,
The angels Heaven sends.
Dazzling brilliant flashes,
Illuminate the night;
As Heavenly host soar to and fro,
Clothed in shimmering light.
Wings outspread in splendor,
They glide among the clouds;
As angels dance across night skies,
Their laughter rings out loud.
The laughter falls from heaven,
A joy filled harmony;
Then sprinkles down upon the earth,
An angel's melody.
A laughter sent to soothe the heart,
To calm the restless soul;
God's gift of angels to mankind,
Sent to make them whole.
The laughter of the angels,
That joy filled harmony;
Sprinkles down upon the earth,
An angel's melody. love always gail & carla.XXX
Afternoon Lewis sweetheart.XXX
Butterfly
A butterfly can fly away,
A butterfly can be a kiss,
A butterfly can be such a gaze,
A butterfly can die just like that.
That's what happened to you.
God took you,
Turned you into a butterfly,
And you flew away. love always gail & carla.XXX
Reaching For The Stars
My dreams I have continued to pursue
Up high I tried to reach all the stars in view
You stood by me all the way through
Gave me hope that a better future will ensue
Kept me grounded when too high I flew
Urged me on when hopelessness grew
Now I believe dreams can come true
Because in my life there is you. love always gail & carla.XXX
OUR ANGELS ARE NEVER FAR AWAY
~We've never had to look far to find our angels.
Angels have never really been out of reach.
We can always discover angels from the inside-out,
Because it is the angel inside us who can
Point the way to all our other angels.~ LOVE ALWAYS GAIL & CARLA.XXX
THE DIFFERENCE~
I got up early one morning and rushed right into the day.
I had so much to accomplish that I didn't have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me, and heavier came the task.
"Why doesn't God help me?" I wondered. He answered, "You didn't ask."
I wanted to see joy and beauty, but the day toiled on, gray and bleak.
I wondered why God didn't show me. He said "But you didn't seek."
I tried to come into God's presence; I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided, "My child, you didn't knock."
I woke up early this morning, and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish that I had to take a little time to pray.
Author Unknown THANKYOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT & FOR LOOKING AFTER MY ANGELS WHILE IVE HAD THE FLU STILL NOT FULLY RECOVERED BUT JUST HAD TO SAY HELLO TO MY GREAT FRIENDS LOTS OF LOVE GAIL.XXX
our Angels in heaven
They haven't really been taken away.
They have only gone with the Angels to play.
They have been given wings with which to fly.
All their troubles have passed them by.
Their life in heaven now must start.
But we'll hold their memory in our hearts.
Nothing about them will be forgotten.
But now they sleep on billowy clouds of cotton.

Daffodils
Williams Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills.
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a boy:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company;
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
