I was late for class tonight with lots on my mind. As the death of my Uncle Henry is settling in I am distracted by much. So I missed a neat concept of visualizing, drawing and sharing my social network with the class. As I think about this..I have just lost contact with another person who I dearly loved...and no internet network can reach there!
There is plenty I have to do for school but I am right now preparing for Friday and the funeral. Already, I have begun to pen some remembrances of my uncle which I may share as a sort of eulogy. He enjoyed his family and farm so the goal is to try to pull together a pictorial tribute of our memories of him that can easily be set to Aunt Lynn's choice song and included in the service as well.
You know, at times like this, I seriously thank God for photography and my inspired moments of creativity. I am especially happy I was blessed to get this photograph of Uncle Henry in his tuxedo at his son's wedding in January 2007! I am not a serious lover of equine, like my uncle was, but I know someone who nearly is, and inspired by that influence, I captured this January 2009 sunrise shot of two horses grazing in a snowy meadow near my home. Ironic and yet not...because God does work in mysterious ways...these two pics together will likely make up the cover of the funeral bulletin (which I hope to share at some point also).
Above all else, I desire to see my Uncle's funeral service honor God...and the strong man whose life-race was run with the vigor of a true race horse - competing for the likes of the triple crown!!!
