It is April 12, 2024 and I am only now finding out that my favorite uncle passed away last month. I am profoundly saddened by the news by the loss of a man I loved as much as my own father. He brought humor and joy every time he visited our home when I was young, and I will never forget him for that. I wish I had known of “Uncle Ara’s” passing, I would’ve been there offer my love and respect to the man I hope to see in the next life with my own father. I love you, Ara, and I’ll miss you always..
