>:heart: This photo of the water lily is dedicated to my Great Uncle Alan who passed away last night due to lung cancer. 12.1.09 :heart:

He was the loveliest man you would ever meet. He had a huge heart, he had a twinkle in his eye when he talked to ladies. He joked and flirted with the nurses in Hospital, telling them he loved them. He was in Hospital on Christmas day, and came home again, only to be admitted last Saturday due to complications.
All my memories of him have been sweet. He was always kind hearted to me, and my siblings. Alan lived a very tough life, he lost his mother when he was 10 years old, and was raised by his older sisters. Later on in his life, he went to live with my Nanna, and she looked after him, despite her own health issues.

Always remember to appreciate the amazing people in your life, you never know when they may slip away...

:aww: Thank you so much.
I didn't know him as well as I would have liked, but I always remember him as being a happy person. He had a hard life, and I hope he left feeling very loved. That's what matters to me the most. :heart:
