Hey uncle it´s Dut. I remember the last week we spent together before you passed. You would be sad to know nothing has changed between me and the family. I really miss you, and think about you often. I didn´t feel alone when you were here. I´ve been married for 9 years now. You would have loved my wife if you met her. I´m writing a book, and it has really helped me heal through a lot of things I didn´t realize I´ve been holding on to. Well I hope to talk with you in my dreams. It´s been a while since you´ve visited me. Love u and miss you so much.

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.

Your Family Curtis&Marlene Carraby
