We never met, but I still know you. Through pictures, stories, and the words 'what might have been,' I can remember you too, Uncle. Your mother was never the same. Your memory poured out of her soul constantly, like a faucet that couldn't be turned off. Her eyes, her fists, her breath were saturated with you. My, how she loved you. It was your face she saw the night she finally let go. Sorry we couldn't save you, David. Sorry that you were given every opportunity but that to live. We love you. You are remembered always.
From his niece. |
