Beautiful story.

Did you ever consider not telling him that his mother was dead? Say she went on a trip or something? That’s what I think I would’ve done.

I probably would have come up with something like that had my aunt not told me that he didn’t get upset when you told him the truth, just a bit confused.

What a lovely tribute to your uncle. I hope wherever he is now, he knows joy and peace.
