I lost someone in my family quite tragically, he means everything to me and now I will never see him again. I will never talk to him again, laugh with him again, sit silently with him again, nothing. He shaped so much of my taste in life, he never said a harsh word, was always positive and laughing, always proud of me and encouraging me. He was my favorite family member, straight up. No matter what anyone said about him, if it wasn't good it fell on deaf ears where I was concerned. He stepped into a father role for me in 1990 and never stepped out, always saying how my dad-- his brother in law and best friend, would be so proud of me and how he was proud of me too. He gave me and my sis the most gifts of anyone at Christmas, every Christmas. He walked out to watch us drive away every time we went to visit. He encouraged me always and we never had one single disagreement, not one, my entire life. The world is so empty without him. I am devastated.
A note upon his desk
"P.S. Bring Me Home And Have Me!"
Leather elbows on a tweed coat
-Oh!-
Is THAT the best you can do ?
So came his reply :
"But on the desk is where I want you!"
