I got a call yesterday.. and it wasn’t something I wanted to
hear…
My sis in law started the call with.. Analynn.. I have some
bad news… and then.. BANG-
My cousin Herbie had passed away.. she didn’t know details
but literally they had just found his body within the hour of Anne calling me..
I immediately got off the phone with her and called my other
cousin Elgin who lives in So-cal.
I bursted into tears when I heard Elgin’s voice he told me
they were at Herbie’s apartment waiting for the police and coroner to come and
pick his body up…
Elgin’s voice cracked.. and he broke down… I wanted to hold him and hug him… I told my
cousin I love him sooo much and I wish I had the chance to tell that to Herbie…
I’m in disbelief.. I’m
in shock..
I had just talked to Herbie on Sunday – Fathers day because
he was taking my tito to lunch almost like the same place where I treated my
dad to, and we were laughing about that… and now… now… he’s gone…
Elgin had said that he had texted Herbie several times that
morning but no response.. then he got a call from Herbie’s best friend asking
if he knew where Herbie was.. and that’s when they went to his apartment and
saw his car.. but no answer at the door.. His friend ended up breaking in and
found Herbie’s body…
They’re suspecting it was heartattack… he was only 41,
single, no kids, good job…
I can’t even write about this.. because.. this all.. just…
hurts, soooo much… sooo much….
I miss you De La Cruz… I miss you badly and I feel horrible
you are no longer with us..
