Hi Dez,

My deepest condolences to you and your family for your loss. Death of a loved one is a difficult time, so please make sure that you are taking out some time to look after your mental health. It's totally okay to cry as much as you need to and feel like not being up to do anything for some time. It's part of the grieving process.

I think it's lovely that you have great memories of him that you can carry with you. Like the others have mentioned on this thread, there are many creative ways you can keep these memories of him safely.

He seems to have been a great person who adored you and took great care of you. The part about him helping you through school is really sweet. You're truly blessed to have such a caring Uncle.

Take care and feel free to PM me if there's anything you'd like to chat about!
