Rest In Peace, James "Jim" Tabor Fox

My cousin James from my mom's side of the family passed away yesterday from a tumor in his leg. He used to be the only other cousin I'd talk to besides my cousin Kristina in California. James lived in England, was in his mid twenties. He was probably the fourth youngest out of all of the cousins from my mom's side, which are the only cousins i have. I used to see him as anolder brother figure even though I never met him in person before. We would always talk about visiting each other, I wanted to go to England especially because of well, you know. It's not fair- we never met. We never had the family reunion we dreamed of. At least he lived his life to the fullest, at least he did all he can. I've never lost anyone in my family before. I used to be really close to him until I lost contact with him a few years ago. I regret not putting effort into keeping touch with him. It isn't fair, how life can be taken away from you at a young age. At least he isn't sick anymore, at least he isn't suffering. At least he is watching over us, my family.

I know I'll meet you some day, Kuya James. Rest in peace, you'll always be in my heart.
