I’d usually make breakfast for us, then sometimes we would go run errands. Sometimes we would just stay home take a nap. Watch TV play video games tell each other. I love you 1 million times a day. It’s crazy how much the ordinary simple things are the ones you miss the most. I miss you more than you can imagine. Until next time, baby, I love you more. #15 from: Cena seybert   No email Sat, Mar 21, 2026 at 12:44 PM HEY UNCLE VINCE! i really really miss you i tell kyra your safe now in a beautiful place called heaven.

I really miss seeing you on holidays talking to you was my favorite part of the holidays but now ur gone and stuff feels like something is missing its crazy how much i cry at night wondering what i could have done to keep you here or if u told us we could have made it better and you were here. When we first got the call that you were in the hospital i was thinking we should take him on a last trip just incase thinking about a new fun adventure we could take you on then a few days later we got the call you were gone i was in my living room doing my work corey and mom came out they were crying told us u passed i showed no emotion and as soon as corey and mom went to there room a gathered my things went to my room and broke down thats were things suddenly went down hill for me my grades were slipping, i didnt feel like eating, i didnt want to go anywhere, i didnt talk to anyone i couldnt sleep without crying, i didnt want to wake up or go to school or pull my self out of bed in the morning bc i remembered you were gone and i didnt want to go to your funeral bc i knew if i didnt i would have to except the fact that you were gone and as soon as i saw u laying there motionless broke me i couldnt do anything anymore i didnt want to i just wanted to stay in my room and cry but now im going to buy u a guitar and give it to u and lay it at your grave once i get the money for it. My only regret was standing by and doing nothing i feel like i should have hugged you longer, or told u good bye and that i loved you or stayed a little longer at the party but i didnt and i wish i did i hope you knew how much i loved you. I love you uncle vince ill see you there one day good bye my hero🧡 -love forever cena #16 from: Cena seybert   No email Wed, Apr 1, 2026 at 11:59 PM Hey uncle vince i miss you ill see you up there soon its funny it feels like an eternity down here waiting for my time to come watching as everyone dies or leaves im going into high school soon see i told you imma try to make it didnt i uncle vince?
