In Memory of my Uncle
That’s about it for now. I’m off to dance in the clouds,
sing at the end of the rainbow and travel at the speed of thought. When you least expect it, I’ll pay you a visit.
Please do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Please do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die.

From The Little Prince:
You—you alone—will have the stars as no one else has them--…in one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night…you---only you—will have stars that can laugh…”
Beautiful.
I have an uncle whom I have loved all my life as much as I had loved my father (his brother). I cannot imagine losing this wonderful man.

Thank you for the tribute to my dad. It was so nice of you. I miss him so very much but I take solace in the fact that he is no longer suffering. His compassion, sense of justice and devotion will live in my heart forever. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
