“I’ve died three times in my life…”
My eyebrows shot straight up my forehead.
I was sitting on a bench behind the funeral home in West Virginia.
The weathered man in front of me was my Uncle Tom.
We were gathered for my grandmother Mary Anne’s funeral service and, as is always the case with big family gatherings, I wasn’t exactly sure how I was related to everyone.
‘Uncle Tom’ is what my dad called the smiling, round-faced man, but I’m pretty sure he was my dad’s great-uncle.
So that made him my… Great-great uncle?
Uncle Tom kept going.
I don’t remember if we’d ever met before, but he spoke with such warmth and openness that I couldn’t help leaning in.
“A couple years back I had a heart attack. When the medics arrived, they started my heart up again and got me into the ambulance. I died once on the drive to the hospital. My heart stopped a third time in the hospital bed and they thought I was gone for good. But I came back.”
He paused.
I studied him.
Uncle Tom had smile lines all over his face.
I had just seen him giving big hugs to some of the family members leaving after the service.
“It’s all about love,” he said after a moment. “Loving God. Loving family. Loving each other. I always remember that now. Remember to enjoy every day I get.”
Feel good now.
Remember it.
But how easy it is to forget…
Don’t forget.
