I Didn't Realize

Throughout the years,

you were always there.

Throughout the years,

You were more than just a family member.

Throughout the years,

you were a constant in my life.

I didn't realize,

that one day you would be gone.

Throughout the years,

you were there to answer all my questions.

I didn't realize,

that there would still be questions.

Throughout the years,

you were a true friend.

I didn't realize,

that friendships do last forever.

Throughout the years,

my Uncle you will always be.

I didn't realize,

that i would miss you so much.

Throughout the years

you showed me it was safe to be who you are.

I didn't realize,

that it was you who helped make me who I am.

Throughout the years,

we shared life, when we couldn't share it with anyone else.

I didn't realize,

that one day I would walk this path alone.

I didn't realize!

Dedicated to my Uncle George.

My Friend, My Confidant, My Uncle.

I will miss you.

Love your Nephew
