I’m so sorry to hear of your uncle’s passing, my deep condolences go out to you and your family. Thank you for sharing this story, it’s really sad and leaves me at a loss for words… I know the feeling though.  I’m hoping this is bittersweet, and you can keep the memory of your uncle alive by getting to know his daughter.

I’m blown away that you chose this song to play in your uncle’s honor.  It reminds me why I write music, and makes me feel connected to a much larger picture.  Thank you, Ger.

A daughter of his showed up that nobody knew existed. She was 31 years old and had spent years trying to build up the courage to meet him.
