Can you somehow send me a basket of 24 red roses with a teddy
bear like you did on my 16th birthday? On my 20th that’s the
only gift I would like to receive from you. The best sweet 16th surprise
was from you. The person I least expected. I was taking a nap after school and
you sent the roses through a courier. My eldest sister was shouting Nadi! Nadi!
You got a courier. It’s for you! I came rushing down the stairs and when I saw
the roses I was in awe. At first I thought it was my dad but he denied anything
of a such when he came home after work that night. I kept wondering who had
sent me 24 red roses. A week went by and when I meet you before going for a road
trip you asked if I liked your surprise. I said it was you Taya? I didn’t know.
I loved it! Thank you so much.
Taya you were much more than just an uncle to me. You were my second father. I will never forget you. You gave me everything I wanted. You
would give me your credit card at Starbucks and tell me go get anything you
want just like that. You would take me for random ice cream rides to McDonald’s. The charm bracelet you gave me
on my 14th birthday is still with me. I try to wear as much as possible. The way you cared for me was so much more than just an uncle. You always said yes to me. The way you loved me and my siblings was like we were your own. This trait made all of us love you. The fact that you cared about us was more than enough. Even our parents didn't mind if we went anywhere with you, As long as you were there. They knew we would be taken care off. I cannot believe that you are no more. I'm sorry I wasn't by your side in your last few moments. I know this is absurd but I really just
want to see you one last time. Please
