Trust me, Kate – he knew. And I'm sure he treasured you for…well, the treasure that you are. When my folks died, 29 days apart, back in '02 I worried that they might not have known how very much they meant to me. I realized quickly that they did, given the amount of time we were lucky enough to spend together, even when we were separated by thousands of miles – a constant condition in the lives of military AND news families. Of which we were both. You and your uncle are in my thoughts, and you now have him storming heaven on your behalf. Lucky girl.

This piece was so beautiful and I know Gramps would have loved it. You've portrayed him so well that I find myself recalling old memories and my eyes are no longer dry. And he knows how much he meant to you and he loved you as well. He loved everyone in his family, because to him the family was his world and he was ours.

Kate,
I am so sorry for your loss, but you have such wonderful memories to share. Your uncle knew how much you loved him because you showed him in more ways than you realize. Those we hold dear will always be in our hearts.

My thoughts are with you and your whole family, Kate. I'm sure he knew- you are so great at showing that to everyone, but I think that it's such an important thing to remember. We never regret going, or calling, or taking that flight, but how many times do we wish we had done more? It's so important to do everything we can to show those we love how much we care, whenever we can.
