Yotam Eviatar

If you hear me up there, in heaven, I love you.
There is no great uncle in the world like you.
And if I'm wrong, you are the greatest uncle in
outer space.
Unfortunately I can not tell you how much I've
changed and how much I miss you.

I didn't see you lot of times since you left to Toronto,
and now I don't have a chance to ask what about you
and Roy, Noa and Ofri.

But do not worry about it, I saw all your children which
are also my cousins and I saw Ayelet and all her family.
I miss you and I hope no matter what I am going to meet
you.

Miss you and also miss Ayelet, Roy, Noa, and Ofri.
