I really have been quite lucky in my life. I have a family that I see quite regularly, more than most families I hear. Today I lost one of my uncles, that I haven't seen in almost 10 years. My memory of him is great, he drove me and my brother around when we visited him to get ice cream or a sandwich. Took us to the waterpark and the river I almost drowned in. My father always loved to hear from his brother and his other siblings and his nieces and nephews never failed to mention how much they wish he were around. I'm glad that I have those things to remember him by, he's a pretty special person to our family and I'm happy that for even just those 4 weeks in Tenares I got see what my family loved about him.
Rest In Peace Tio Chepe

ReplyDeletethanks man, I really appreciate it
ReplyDeleteIt is in memories that most people inhabit... I'm glad you have such fond ones of your uncle.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for your loss.
thanks I really appreciate it Jess. now that I think about it, it's pretty amazing how much of one's relationships with people are based off memories. after the first time you meet, the first things that come to mind are other times you've been with that person.
