2017 August 10

The prompt for this day was chosen deliberately. "A Hole In The World" from the show Angel, simply because today is the one year anniversary of my Uncle's passing. He was a huge influence on my entire life. There were times that I saw this man more often than my own parents, once I was grown and living with my husband and children in another country.

in the episode, Winnifred "Fred" Burkle accidentally ingests some contaminated dust that infects her. The gang discovers that she is being hollowed out by an ancient demonic creature known as Illyria, an Old One. Fred is slowly subsumed and decimated by this creatures possession. Though she and the other's fight it, one by one, they must come to terms with Fred's death and the dark being that rises in her place.

There are really no other words to say. Most adults and some children are familiar with death and grief and how different it is for everyone. 

D2 chose to remember our cousin's wife who had such a huge effect on our families life.

I was able to honour my uncle, who as I mentioned above, was a great guy. I can't even go into what he meant  to me and to my family without having a two hour tearfest, so I'll leave it here.
