One of my uncles passed away last week.
He was a surgeon, a gourmet cook, a skier, a tennis player, and an opera fan. He was funny and didn't sugar coat his opinions, he told it to you straight, whether you liked it or not. I remember him always with a huge smile on his face, not a hair out of place, stylishly dressed, bustling around in the kitchen, looking happy with the world around him.
His last wish was for all his friends and family to get together on a harbor cruise on the Hudson River, decked out in tuxes and cocktail dresses, enjoying a delicious meal and champagne, toasting life, celebrating the good times that were shared and not looking back in sadness. What a marvelous idea that was. So, last Friday, all the relatives that could make it to New York boarded a boat and partied the night away, scattering his ashes into the river at the end. I was there in spirit, partying away as well. Cheers to you, Tito Drix.
Hold your family close and tell them you love them.
