I save stories all the time. I journal them, just in case I don’t get to share them they are there to look at and share in the future (whether I am the one doing the sharing or not)!!!

You could do what I do, my mee-maw passed away when I was 9. She was and still is the person I most want to be like. I still tell her things, even outloud sometimes because I still feel her in my life. Plus, I have been doing it since I was a kid so it doesn’t feel strange to me. Because sometimes the person that will understand is someone who is no longer with us.

I think you should still tell him. Really…

This is so touching that you loved him so much, were so close, and still think about him all the time. He must have been one heck of a person. Maybe you could write your thoughts down in a journal, or make a separate page for him here and jot down your feelings and thoughts. I’m so sorry you are struggling with this.

Feel better, we all love you!

Maybe you can tell them to us in a little series dedicated to your Uncle? It might be good for you to let them out, especially if they’re making you lose sleep.

I used to save stories mentally until I realized I could never remember the damn things. Then I started blogging them so the Web could remember them for me. Now that most of my friends have found my blogs, they are able to finish my saved stories for me which kinda screws up my original intent anyway. C’est la vie.

tell him in your dreams, or go to a park somewhere and say them aloud.
you never know, one day you may meet someone with a very similar sense of humor who responds very much like your uncle, you’ll know that it’s not him but that familiar feeling makes you think that he sent that person just to “say hi”.

Because you think of the stories and how you might have told him, he has already heard them from your heart. I miss him too. He will always be in your heart, so as long as you keep the stories and memories alive in your heart he will have a way to listen.
He and my brother Doug were very close and talked every week. They are alot alike even though they’re a couple of years apart in age. Don’t let not being able to PHYSICALLY tell Tom keep you awake, he’s there, he’s listening. All you have to do is speak with your heart. Close your eyes and visualize him laughing and laughing.

I can tell that I’m getting older, because I tend to tell the same stories to others. I don’t do it that often, but I enjoy some stories and sometimes forget who I tell it to and how many times I’ve told it to them.

I have a ton of stuff I wanted to tell my grandma. Sadly I did not get a chance either, so I understand how you feel on this one for sure.
