There was never a kinder man ever born . His kindness and generosity was felt by many over the years. 
I still can't talk or write about him without breaking into tears.  Knowing that he is at peace and pain free is what makes it tolerable. 
The drive home was beautiful with all of the fall colors.

  4. No words can truly express the loss you have experienced, but I will still try by saying how sorry I am to read this post. Your uncle sounds like a fantastic man, and I'm sure your father feels he has lost half of himself, too. Grief often takes time, so we will be here, regardless.

    Thanks for sharing this remembrance of your uncle and the beautiful photos of your trip with us for T this Tuesday. Your random thoughts are right on point, too.
