I saw your coat today. Although you could no longer use it and that coat moved on to someone else in need, you where right there with me for that split second. I felt you in that very moment. That moment before my brain filled with the wave of sadness left here without you. I miss you more than words can say.

Always remembering and missing you Greg. I am so grateful that we have so many great memories to think back on. You were such a big piece of our lives, and it’s moving to realize how much of our time is still allocated to remembering you. You will always be a huge part of who I am, and I feel very blessed to have had you as my uncle. With love and prayers.

Thank you for visiting me in my dream. It was so nice to see you, to hug you, and to plant a pile of kisses on your cheeks and head. We don't have to visit at a long-term care facility in our future dreams - we can visit anywhere and you can be as healthy as you like in the dream. I will always know your voice when you call my name.
Until then, I think of you often and on every full moon. I will always remember the time I found you laying on a bench at night. It was a warm winter night and you were looking up at the stars and the full moon. You told me that you were taking a moon bath that night. Every full moon I feel that moment and how much I love you. Peace and Love Greg.

I sit and stare out my front window, searching through all the moments of you. The sound of your voice at the bus stop, the recognition of your walk from the distance as you make your way to my front door, your hat, your coffee cup always in hand, and your cough.
I loved the way you understood life. The way you intuitively knew when something was happening, without being told. You felt and knew things from a deeper level, you always did. You were very close to the truth.
I miss the way you sometimes spoke in metaphors, sometimes prophetically and often with duel meanings. I love how you often said there was more than one of an individual, very cleverly identifying that people often have more than one side to them, or that we as human being are more like each other.
Your stories like the last one you shared with Imahgynne; You said that you two were twins, that you were the great white shark swimming in the ocean and she was a little orange fish, and that you would always swim together. You loved her so much and you knew you were dying and this story you told was your way of letting her know that you would always be looking out for her. Always the family man and protector. I loved that about you so much.
I miss your positive attitude. I miss your kind and forgiving heart. You were so wise. You were truly a peaceful warrior on your path.
I miss your grateful heart, and sometimes it hurts so much to remember your words of appreciation for our time together. You thanked me for being your friend. You thanked me for being there with you. You loved both Imahgynne and Graeme so much and you really got to connect with them as young adults this past 5 years. It hurt to hear you say that I had a beautiful family, because I could see in that moment that you were getting ready for the next part of your journey, you were stepping back and getting ready to die. I needed to remind you that you are part of my family, not because we are blood, but because the kids and I whole heartedly loved you! You saw all that connection as a gift, and that hurt because I saw it as your natural right to be loved by family.
I think back to your time in the hospital as you so bravely fought to live and I remember how it was apparent that nobody “like you” gets that chance for such care. I remember how hard you fought and how brave you were. I remember when Graeme said that you were a 5-star general in a three-star world, you giggled at such a clever insight. You really were so much more then what the world around you understood. You were such a humble man.
I loved those moments when you smiled from the inside out. Those moments were pure joy and born out of our time together.
I miss you so friggen much and sometimes its hard to breathe.
I want you to know that you never caused me any suffering. It was the world around you that was supposed to protect your right to care that caused all that pain. You were a perfect gentleman.
I learned so much in this past 5 years and I have never studied so hard. I am so very sorry for not being able to keep up with the constant incompetence of the people and services that were intended to protect you and your rights. It was a complete acid trip to try and advocate for you in a very broken system that was not taking care of your needs. You my friend, were one of my greatest teachers.
I will miss your beautiful and pure heart. You taught me so much about what it is to be a human being. The world will never be the same place here without you.
