Dear Uncle Tony,
I wish I could've made it back home in time to see you one more time. I am proud to share the same family name and I will continue to stand tall with it on my back. I know you are with Grannie, Granddad, and Aunt Jessie, now. Your smile is now another shade of ink in the tattoo on my soul. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
