Until we meet again.

This is a song that I heard that I really like. The lyrics are beautiful. Read if you would like. 
Wait Lyrics by David Archuleta

I can't sleep, I'm feeling wide awake
Tonight is taking it's time
How much more before the morning breaks
And I can leave it all behind
'Cause every time I try to close my eyes
I only end up seeing memories of you
And it's never enough, I'm waiting

Even though you're gone I can hear your heart
It's calling out my name like a flash in the dark
If this is just a dream
I won't give it back
I'll find a way to make it last
One more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go

I am keeping every word you say
But how much longer can I hold on
Cause whispers echoing until they fade
Remind me that you're already gone
'Cause every time I try to chase your voice
I end up getting lost and running in circles

And it's never enough, I'm waiting

Even though you're gone I can hear your heart
It's calling out my name like a flash in the dark
If this is just a dream
I won't give it back
I'll find a way to make it last
One more minute wait, wait, wait, don't go
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go
Wait, wait, wait, don't go
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go
Oooh yeah, don't go

Even though you're gone I can hear your heart
It's calling out my name like a flash in the dark
If this is just a dream
I won't give it back
I'll find a way to make it last
One more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go

Dear Kirk. . .
Since you are not having a funeral. I'm writing this letter and hoping it reaches you. 
See that picture up there? That's me and you! I know it was one of your favorites. It's one of mine too! I loved you then andI love you now. Always. 
So..I found this song on youtube. It makes me think of you. You are my most treasured uncle. On both sides of my family. Every time I talked to you-You always had a hug, a joke, and a story. Even though you did have a hard life, and I KNOW it got to you---You were ALWAYS always alwaaays laughing. I know that when people die.. A lot of times people really fluff things up. Kirk-I know that you don't like fluff. You like honesty and frank people. I'll be blunt. This is the truth! You were AALLWAYS laughing. That's a great quality to have, and I miss it.  You remind me so much of my Father. 
I have to tell you, I have regrets. I know your health was declining. You've always been in my heart, and prayers, but I didn't expect you to pass this year. I really wanted to go out to lunch with you, and I feel bad you never got to see my new place. I'm sad you won't get to meet my children. I know you were always getting after me to tell James we should start a family now. lol 
Captain I know that your up in heaven with Kim, Collin, my Dad, YOUR Dad, Garth, and many many other loved ones. Every time I think of this... It tears me up because I KNOW you are so happy. I can only imagine how that would feel. To be embraced by the loved ones you love so much and have waited soo soo long to see.  I'm sure you are doing flips with your new limber body!  This is happy time for you and I'm happy for you.
What breaks my heart is even though you're gone. I MISS YOU! and seeing you go gives me a sense of reality of how precious life is and to see Grandpa Ferr, My Mom and Kc struggle so much with there  own health problems. I know they are in the best of care-but I'm a skeptic when it comes to things like these. It would break my little heart to pieces to loose my mom or brother, and I've come to the reality that someday I will, I just don't want it to be soon. My heart goes out to Grandma Shirley as she has lost all but one of her sons. I pity myself, but then I look at the bright example Grandpa Ferr and Grandma Shirley have stayed close to the Lord and despite all their hardship have stayed strong and happy. They give me courage to go on, and I want you to know that... You and I have angels as Mothers. It's a lot of life up to. Ill tell you that, but I ask that your spirit be close to her and let her feel your love. Because even though shes a Rock. She needs you. 
I don't have much more to say other then I love you. I love you so much! Goodbye for now
Kira.

"Kirk passed on June 25th. He chose to donate his body to University of Utah Medical Center for research.  They accepted his body with great gratitude for his contribution to the medical field.They have ordered a beautiful 4' granite bench to be placed on the roadside corner as close as possible to his 3 brothers and father who all preceded him. All have departed so Kirk had a good crew ready and waiting to "show him the ropes" in this place of freedom from pain and the challenges of mortality, to greater comprehension of the Plan of Salvation and the Atonement." <--A quote from my Grandma who couldn't have worded or ended on a better note. 

Until we meet again.

Made me cry. Isn't it weird we both lost our Uncles within 2 weeks of each other? We are meant to be friends and comfort and support each other. That's why Julie and I go through similar things too. I am convinced. I love you Kira. I am here if you want to go on an evening walk and talk. :(
