a sad day

We learned this morning that John's uncle Jim passed away this morning/late last night. Jim did have terminal cancer though this wasn't quite expected. According to Tom (John's dad, for those who don't know), Jim was just talking about going out to plant bulbs last Monday.

And Happy Birthday to my Avery. You would have been six years old this year. If the sky is clear tonight, I shall look for your star. Love, Mama.

“In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.” ~Robert Green Ingersoll
