Growing up my uncle was always around us. I spent summers with him and my Aunt as a young girl and have some very fond memories. He and my other uncle had a nick name for me and it is something I had not thought about in a while. They called me "Goonkie." Now I am not sure where that came from, but it was who I was to them. They even had a little lyric they would sing...I'm talkin about Goonks MaGoonks...
Sounds silly, but it makes me smile to think about it. My heart is heavy as I think about how in an instant, we can loose family and friends. This was sudden and unexpected, which makes the shock even harder. My Aunt always comments on my cards on FB and is a great supporter. I am sending this to her today with my Love.
Uncle Bud, if you can hear me, know that your Goonkie loved you and you will always be a fond memory in my heart.
I'm sharing this card with Word Art Wednesday.

ReplyDeleteOh Monica, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss and for him to die so suddenly is all the more devastating. Even though he is gone it is nice that you have so many fond memories of him to reflect on. Please know that I am thinking of you during this difficult time.
