Dear Uncle John, What can I write....? Yesterday I found myself mourning the first passing away of one of my cousins. Chris was a cousin I had never even met because he was born in Canada, and I in Malta, and our paths had never crossed throughout all these years, not even during a holiday... So did I even need to feel sadness......? But yes.... I did, because my nannu and nanna magro, were also your nanna and nannu, and blood is, was, and will remain thicker than water..... Dear Chris, I never got to meet you in this valley of tears, but there's gonna be a day when even I cross over to where you are now. When I do, be forewarned, you're gonna be one of the first I will seek out.... Isabelle
