My greatly-loved Uncle John died June 11. Almost a full month ago, and I’m still reeling a bit. Many of you already knew that he died since you follow my amazing Aunt Anne’s blog — Mehrling Muse – Life in the Mountains. I haven’t written because I felt it was her right to share first.…

A wonderful piece of tribute. How is Logan doing with it all? I saw his little head in the funeral video.

I think Logan is handling his loss well. His parents are very supportive. As his dad said, John was a grandfather to Logan. He came over to play games with Lise and me today. She taught him a new game — DOS — and he caught on quickly. He is very bright.

I still remember losing my neighbor when I was 9. She was a grandmother figure to me and it hit me very hard. I wish I had had the support available to Logan. No one seemed to understand that she was more than “just a neighbor” to me.

So lovely… I saw this on Chrissie’s blog. I’m sorry I’ll never get to meet John, but I think I’ve got an excellent feeling for him from Chrissie’s writing and your own, Anne!

My John would have enjoyed you and John. We met several bloggers in person, and that was marvelous.
