My amazing amazing uncle . I can’t Belive it’s been 2 years since you were taken from us. Not a day goes past when I don’t think about you and what such and amazing gentlemen you were . You loved us all so much , and we all love you so much . I miss the smell of your cigarettes and the sound of your laughs . I miss the way you could light up any room . You could make us all happy in a blink of an eye . This man I am so proud to call my uncle . He was such a gentleman and although I was only young (10) I still couldn’t belive that you were gone with no notice . I thought it was so unfair you still had a long life to live . I was so angry and upset cause I missed you so much .We had such a special and strong bond which could beat any other uncle and niece duo’s . I say niece but I have never been christened and for all those years you were alive you treated me like pure royalty . I always hoped that one day I could get christened and you would be my godfather . You would have made an amazing dad , the way you treated all us children . In our family there is something missing now . On the plane journey to a place of all our dreams , we took up 14 seats ( minus Nani and papi as they didn’t fly ) and on the way home there was only 13 seats .We miss you very much . I miss painting you chubby finger nails with pink glittery nail polish or playing dress ups with you . You were such a gent and kind and respectful man to everyone who came into your presence. I will always love you . Forever and always ( you’ll always be my favourite forever and ever nothing can change that ) I will always love you and as soon as I am old enough I am going straight to that tattoo Parlour to get your name / initials printed on me . Your such a special person Richard . I will forever and always love you . I miss you so much my sweet sweet angell , fly high 🕊️we all love you xx

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
