A year later and still hard to believe. Sometimes the hurt is so bad it stops hurting but the tears silently flow.

My love for you will live on through the tears and smiles forever. I pray there is a radio tower in the sky so you can send morse code reaching new places with your call sign N9JV. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. XOXO

He always called me Ally and I use that name for so many things, because of him. I will miss him so much. I wish I could be there to say goodbye to such a great uncle. -Alexis
