I remember reading about your uncle in a previous thread you started about him, I'm very sorry to hear of his passing. I'm sure he knew how much you cared about him. I'm glad you were able to have a good converstaion with your parents about it.
I haven't been around much but I think of you often and hope you are well.
Lots of Love,
Ali (aka Star)
