Uncle Bobby

My Uncle Bobby passed away this morning. I wrote a blog about him last month because I was lucky enough to be able to visit him for the first time in two years. I wrote about what a happy, childlike, generous person he was, and how he created happiness wherever he went.

He and I were very close and we talked often. I could always count on him for anything. He gave me unconditional love when I really, really needed it. I don’t know how my life would have turned out if he hadn’t been there.

The worst thing about losing someone you love is knowing that you will never, ever get to talk to them again, or hear them laugh.

I guess I’m posting this so that people can think about the ones they love. And to remember to always try to be kind to them, and call often.

And I hope that, wherever he goes now, he receives the same warm greeting that he gave us when we arrived at his home last month. He deserves it.
