A season

My last remaining uncle has departed this life. A wise, patient, and gentle man. An amazing Dad and wonderful uncle.

Just over 3 months ago my aunt passed away. Back then my artichokes were ripe. I ate one and left the other. A season marks the closing of the chapter for this generation on Mum's side.

Today's gratitude: For the role of aunts, uncles, and cousins in our lives.
