Rain

We went to my Uncle Lorne's funeral today

It rained, hard, which seemed to fit perfectly

I loved hearing about him today

Stuff that I didn't know,

like his practical jokes, funny emails, and the amazing respect from his coworkers and friends

And stuff that I knew,

like his passion for Halloween, his amazing stories, his ability to nap anywhere,

and his love for my Di

I felt relief at the end of the day, and I hope his family did too

It hurts so much to see the people you love the most, hurting so badly

I feel so helpless, and I never know the right thing to say

So, I will say what I have said every time I have hugged my Di, Sar, and Coley

I. Love. You.

And, we are all here for you guys. always.

Sar- your words today were so sweet and so strong

Coley- every time I heard you laugh, I knew it would be ok

Zachy- you were so brave today, I was so proud of you

Di- your complete strength astounds me.

My whole family- I, again, am amazed by all of you.

What a lucky person I am to be apart of you.

I know that Uncle Lorne is looking over us,

and waiting for the day that he will be united with his family

Thanks for all the amazing memories

Rest in Peace
