Sad Day...

One of my dear Uncles passed away this morning. Uncle Dick, 87, will be greatly missed. He was a gentle soul who always had a smile on his face and had such amazing musical talent. He composed alot of the scores for the bands he was in, played the sax and trumpet, and had a voice you wouldn't believe....absolutely beautiful. I remember hearing him play when I was a little girl, and I fell in love with the trumpet, because of him. So today was my "Uncle Dick" day, I was sad so I decided to listen to his tapes, and you know what? It made me smile, and it brought back some happy memories, and that is the only way I know how to fill up the hole that is left in my heart.



I lost 3 Aunts and Uncles in the last 16 months and each one was very special to me. This is the difficult part of life, but it IS a part of life, so we cope, and listen to music, enjoy our memories and speak of them often and in this way we keep them alive.



I'm going to miss you, Uncle Dick...
