Thankfully, she did, and I hope that your uncle has a peaceful passing, too. This is a moving tribute to your uncle; he sounds like a great man who made this world a kinder place.

I could see how GOOD he was and I must admit I was sorry we weren't closer in age cuz I could have been very interested in him...silly I know...but he is a "quality man" and one of only a few I've had in my life. Oh my, this is so maudlin! If he is cognizant, please tell him he is loved across the Atlantic Ocean and all the way across a continent. And squeeze his hand for me.Leslie:https://www.blogger.com/profile/11964698251137788839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-21254361281758369052017-02-06T18:52:13.413+00:002017-02-06T18:52:13.413+00:00Dear Liz,

I have no uncles in the UK and one very special Uncle in Toronto passed away before Christmas, he was in his 90's. We rarely saw each other but when we did , we were close and got on so well.<br /><br /> My other uncle lives In Australia and has done since 1974. We last saw each other last year when he came over , it was a flying visit and I was ill with Depression. Once Uncle died in 1976. This is all on my mums side of the family.<br /><br />On my dads , I had one Uncle who I never met at all, due to family differences I believe. My other uncle we did meet years ago but then he passed away. I only met a first cousin for the first time two years ago. She lives in South Africa. The day we met , was the first time we had spoken to each other and of course the first time we had met. <br /><br />So keep what super memories you can and cherish them. xxAnne in Oxfordshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479380647784781207noreply@blogger.com
