Uncle Ant,
I have wonderful memories of being at your house in Archers Rd at Christmas playing games with all the family. Lots of laughter and love and parties in the garden in the summer... You and Aunty Carol and all the dogs and having lots of musical instruments to play.
Then later in your life, catching you riding your bike still at 95 up to the common with no helmet on and you saying
"Don't you tell your Mum!!" Your little sister Tricia... You always knew I'd snitch on you... Then later again in life you racing me whilst on your mobility scooter whizzing up the road whilst I was sat in traffic , taking turns to wave to each other as we'd pass each other but you'd usually beat me & wave away as you disappeared into the shop or off on another road... I can't believe I will never see you again.
But I have wonderful memories that will live with me forever. Thank you for those and for our last ever conversation. xxxx

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.
