In Loving Memory 69/365

I've been avoiding this post since Monday evening because I'm not sure the best way to handle it. We've been sharing the details of our life with no problem, but my uncle passed away suddenly on Monday and it has been very tough on me. I do think some things should remain private, but I want to stay true to the purpose of this project which is to capture and share a year of our life. I guess I knew that would include the good, bad, fun and boring but I never really prepared myself for the possibility of loss. So, I dedicate this picture today to my uncle, Andrew, in loving memory. He was a kind man, a loving father and my dad's little brother. He will truly be missed, and my hope is that his sudden passing will be a positive reminder to live each day to the fullest and love to the tips of our fingers and toes.
