I am determined to make you proud with every click of the shutter
My Dearest Uncle George,
It's with a heavy heart that I write this letter, grappling with emotions that are hard to put into words. The news of your passing has left a void that seems impossible to fill, and the pain of losing you is so big.
I remember the times you shared your passion for photography with our family, creating moments frozen in time through the lens of your camera. Your talent and dedication were an inspiration, and little did I know that your love for photography would become a part of me.
As I reflect on your life and the joy you found in capturing the beauty of the world, I've come to realize how much I've grown to love photography too. Your influence guided me, Uncle George, and I want to make you proud by pursuing this passion with all the fervor you did.
I know how excited you were after each photo shoot, rushing home to share the images and stories behind them. Your enthusiasm was contagious, and it fueled my own interest in photography. It's heartbreaking to think that you won't be here to witness my journey in this art form, but I am determined to make you proud with every click of the shutter.
The circumstances of your departure, mistaken identity and a senseless knife fight, weigh heavily on my heart. It's a tragedy that has left us all shattered. I can't help but think about the photo shoot you were returning from when this happened, coming home with visions of the beautiful images you captured.
In the midst of the grief, I want to honor your memory by taking pictures at your funeral. It will be an emotional and challenging task, but I believe it's a way to capture the love and sorrow that surround us. I hope that through these photos, I can convey the deep impact you had on all of us.
Uncle George, your legacy will live on through the snapshots of life you've left behind and the passion for photography you've ignited in me. I'll cherish the memories we shared, and I promise to carry your spirit with me as I pursue this shared love.
Rest in peace, dear Uncle. You'll be forever remembered.
With love and a heavy heart,
Tammy
