I had an entirely different post written with a bunch of pictures but that changed when I got a call from my Dad Wednesday morning that my Uncle Kenny died of an apparent heart attack. Suddenly the silly pictures of my dogs and other stuff just didn't make sense and quite frankly I wasn't feeling too darn hopeful.
In fact I've been so busy since than that I really didn't even think about You Capture until yesterday afternoon. On our way home from the funeral I saw the sun shining brightly through the clouds in one spot. This is pretty fitting because uncle Kenny was always the one that could make us laugh no matter what and always stood out in a crowd with his...um...colorful dressing (more on that maybe tomorrow).
I feel like he's telling us that it's ok....that he's ok.
And that makes me hopeful....
I am hopeful that my Grandma will once again learn to live her life after burying a son.
I am hopeful that my aunt Joanie will learn to live her life without her husband of 33 years.
I am hopeful that we will find peace.
I am hopeful that eventually we will find comfort in the fact that he didn't suffer.
I am hopeful that he has been reunited with his dad and brother.
Head on over to Beth's to check out everyone else's hopeful photos.
