My Lost But Beloved Uncle
On January 8th, 2005 Jared Blair (my uncle) died at the age of 20 of sleep apnoea. Jared grew up and lived his whole life in the Bookstown neighborhood in North Baton Rouge. Once he got his drivers liscense he never was at home much and rarely ever brought friends over. He loved to play paintball and he was always out a lot having fun with his friends. So many people came to his funeral that you had to wait in line just to get in the door. He will be greatly missed by me, his parents (my grandparents), his grandparents , my dad (his brother), his many friends, and lots of other people.

My Lost Hero |
| In Loving Memory Of Jared M. Blair |
You came into my life like a burning flame.
That was your true ticket to fame.
Yet your flame has burned out.
It seems as if only I was to pout.
Others have found ways to carry on.
But in my heart I still hold your song.
You were so early to be taken away.
It hurt so much I can't even say.
But even though we have parted, you're still close to me.
Yet all my pain others can't see.
You're the first person I've lost, but I know you won't be the last.
I know I should put these feelings in the past.
It's been years now since I've seen your face.
And my sad feelings move at such a deadly pace.
But every time I look up to the stars,
I know exactly where you are.
You're in my heart.
At least that's a start.
The birds, the bees,
the flowers the trees.
They all remind me.
You watch over me day and night.
But I'm forlorn 'cause you're always out of sight.
I know you hear my prayers.
And my burdens you help bear.
I never could say a decent good bye.
I never will know why.
I guess because I still can't think of you as gone.
Maybe that's how I cope with carrying on.
I guess you could say my feet were never on the ground.
But the thought of your voice would be a beautiful sound.
I still have the rose from your funeral of long ago.
Yet when people say you're gone, I say it isn't so.
My mind is full with thoughts of you.
But the memories I have are of a very few.
Now comes the time when I must let go.
And it pains me so.
But I know you're in a better land.
And now I think I understand.
That God choose to take you by the hand.
And even though that part I can not stand.
I know you're better off in the promise land. | | |

A Place To Rest |
| In Loving Memory of Jared M. Blair |
God looked down on your body,
So tired from hanging on,
From a life that was overwhelming you,
And wanted back His son.
So he took away the air you breathe,
And gave you what was best,
A place to be at peace,
A final place to rest |

Jared Blair listened to many diffrent rap artist, but I would have to say that 2pac was probably his favorite. I allways wondered if he really enjoyed/wanted to listen to rap. If not, then why did he listen to it?

Sweet Child Of Mine
In Loving Memory of Jared Blair
Where are you now, sweet child of mine
Where are you now
Are you the whispering in the wind, the gentle breeze
Are you all the things I do not understand
Are you the heavens and the earth
Where are you now
Are you my protector in the dark
Are you there to see the tears that fall from my face
And wipe them gently away and give me the will to go on
Does your courage and bravery in life
And the fact that I was always
So proud of you, and still am
Give me the strength and inspire me to tell
The world how wonderful you are
But where are you now?
I was always there for you
Did I let you down
When you had to take those last steps on your own
Did I let you down as I held your hand
You have gone to a place and I could not go with you
But some day, my darling, I will come to you again
As you are with me eternally
You are every breath I take, every action I do
You are in my dreams, you are my dream
Where are you now, sweet child of mine
I am the sound of your breathing
I am the sound of your heart beating
I am your life and you are mine
Together for eternity
Your loving cousin always
