I feel like we haven't spent plenty time together lately" - those were the opening words of my last conversation with Uncle Derry. My response? "Pick a day and call me na uncle! We'll do something."
If I'd known that less than 2 weeks later I'd be speaking of him in the past tense....I would've said let's go tomorrow.
I can easily say that Uncle Derry was my favorite uncle. Having a conversation with him was so easy and came with no judgment, no matter what it was. He made me feel so special. Like I was his favorite niece. And I'm almost certain most of my cousins would say the same thing lol. His heart was so fun of love that flowed so freely. To anyone that needed it...
I loved him deeply. The pain of losing him....it's almost crippling. less

I was just a little girl and my Mom took my brother and I with her to visit an old lady friend. When we got there Mr. Timothy was there and wasted no time in giving us a health tip. "Ah hope you children don't ask your Mommy to buy you soft drinks you know. Soft drinks only good for cleaning toilets. Try it when you go home. Just throw the soft drink in the bowl, leave it for a little bit then flush it away. The toilet would be clean, clean." My brother and I laughed. It was the weirdest thing we'd ever heard. "Oh allyuh don't believe me?! Try it when you go home." He gave us some more tips then left. Never saw him without a huge grin and a welcoming greeting, a spirit that lives on in his children.
Really sorry for your loss guys! May God comfort you all at this time. 🙏🏾 less
