Another good one gone…

Just yesterday dad and I made plans to visit you. New years seemed like the perfect time. Delighted with our idea, we slept soundly, and woke to the sound of your demise. 

I will miss you deeply, Uncle. My fondest memories of my childhood have you in them. Your eagerness to adopt me, to show me new, beautiful stuff. To talk to me and expand my world with your wisdom. 

I believe you are in good company. Raise a glass with the ones who are already on the other side. See you soon!
