Can you help us? We have lost a friend and Family member. As each summer approached the three of us looked forward with anticipation of a fun weekend together upstate. A meeting that was not brought together by grief over a loved one that had passed. A bonding of cousins. The conversations were filled of times from our youth. The joyous memories of Family. The playful teasing of friends. No longer will tears of laughter stream down your face from the playful banter of your two cousins. No longer will we forage for firewood to build a box fire. The clanging of the horseshoes won't ring out the same when tossed in the pit. The taste of good upstate pizza just became a little bitter today. The beer won't be as cold coming from the cooler as the night sky comes into view. A sunflower will always hold a fond memory now of a hearty laugh shared by the "Three Amigos". No longer will we laugh so heartily upstate.
Like many, time has taken you to early. How I hoped for a better outcome that was not to be. As tears of sadness wash the face. Thank you for the precious memories. Our circle has become smaller.
