Dear Liam
    I have been sitting with pen beside me, just thinking of all
    that  is  lost.  There  are  no  words  that  quite  describe  the
    depth of our pain to make this short, simple, and plain.
    I  think  of  your  parents  and  the  pain,  rage,  love,  and
    despair they must be feeling for the life now that is gone.
    You enriched us, improved us, and showed us the wonder
    of you, bringing joy and beautiful memories to our lives.
    I think of your sister and how you should be right there
    beside  her.      Through  life,  to  share,  reminisce  and
    complain.
                         It saddens me that you will miss out on all
                               the joys, scrapes and tears that will be
                                   part of Olivia's life. You will not be
                                      there to cheer her on and see
                                         the woman she will become.
                                           A  distant  memory  of  an
                                            uncle that crawled on the
                                              oor,  put  on  costumes,
                                               acted the fool to illicit  a
                                                laugh.

                                                 For  the  moment,  and
                                                 please  forgive  us,  we
                                                  are  nding  it  hard  to
                                                  look past the ending of
                                                   your  part  in  our  lives.
                                                   The lost memories that
                                                   should still have been,
                                                   now  ashes  blown  by
                                                   the wind.
                                                   We will miss you being
                                                   here beside us.
                                                   Uncle Stu
                                                   P.S. please do not take
                                                  up  the  bag  pipes
                                                  again  wherever  you
                                                  are.  I quite deliberately
                                                 worked  at  missing  out
                                                 on that this time around.
