Feeling Blue

I'm feeling so blue tonight. My Uncle Bud passed away in his sleep late Saturday night and I learned about it late last night. Uncle Bud was the Uncle with twinkling blue eyes, the comfortable lived -in house I always felt at home in, married to artsy Aunt Dolly (she spray painted a mural of Arizona on the inside of her pool privacy wall, let me ride horses from her barn, and took care of me when my sister was dying.), and Bud always told me how beautiful I was. I'll miss him so much. Those times spent at this house were some of my fondest childhood memories.

There is no money for a funeral - so he's being cremated and the memorial isn't scheduled yet.

Uncle Bud, thanks for taking me out for my first fried ice-cream.
