I wanted to tell my uncle Deli that it was very painful and still is… not having you here… not having coffee with you and laughing a lot. Not seeing you come back from the market and being happy to see you arrive, not hearing you tell stories from your childhood or talk about your acquaintances, hurts a lot. Ever since the night I answered that phone call, I have missed you so much. Ever since that day in the garden with you when I felt it would be the last time we would be together, it hurts. But I know you are in a good place and proud of me, despite everything. I couldn’t say goodbye that day, I couldn’t give you a hug and I deeply regret it, but here is my brief farewell. But I hope I can honor you and that you welcome me with good grace.
