6. I'm so sorry, Iris. I lost my mom's youngest sister, the last of that generation of the family, the summer

before last, and it can hurt more to lose an aunt or uncle when they're the last of a generation. But I just keep reminding myself they're reunited now, enjoying family get-togethers like the ones I remember from my grandfather's farm. And so are your loved ones.

You wrote a lovely tribute for your uncle.
