We all have that one experience that changed us. That experience that could have been losing a loved one, getting your heart broken, being around a certain person; even meeting someone sweet. That experience is why we are who we are now. It gives us a certain feeling that sticks with us.

A feeling that changes us forever; sometimes for the better or even for the worst.

When losing a loved one, we carry that person with us shortly after they pass. We carry the memories, the laughs, and the smiles. When you get your heart broke, a certain part of you changes and it makes you look at a different picture the next time. We feel heavy-hearted and it just sticks with us for a while. And even having someone special in our lives, teaches us a lesson. A lesson we hold close to our hearts forever.

The person I had in my life, changed me for the better.

All my life, I grew up with a uncle who had Down Syndrome. He was the gift from God. He was always sweet, compassionate, understanding; loving. He was someone who changed me for the better. He taught me if you live your life with acceptance and with your heart, the world will be a better place.

My uncle was the sweetest person I ever known in my life. He always had that smile on his face and always was laughing. I am a better person because I had him in my life as long as I did.

Life is so short. No knows what could happen. In a blink of a eye, anything can happen. That's why if you live your life with acceptance and with your heart, the world will be a better place.

I miss him everyday and think of him all the time. However, I am so blessed I had him in my life. He made me who I am today. He was the gift from God. He was an angel in disguise.
