Uniquely Hugh

Super Smart, Kind, Intelligent, Caring, Sensitive.

These are what made Hugh...well Hugh. 

When I was about 7 years old....I was sad.  I no longer remember what I was sad about...but I was sad. 

We were at Aunt Jean's for cookies and tea...(some of you will remember....that special tin of cookies in the cupboard that solved problems, healed hearts, and created love and clarity with every sip and nibble)

Hugh came home while I was moping about their back yard.   Hugh made me laugh.  He launched into his Fozzy Bear impression, which to a moping 7 year old was enough to turn the frown upside down.  From Fozzy to Kermit, the impressions unfolded.  I will never hear Kermit the Frog singing Rainbow Connection without thinking of Hugh...with a smile...and a heart full of Love.

As I grew up to my teenage years Hugh would come and visit and bring his amazingly beautiful and gentle dog(s) to run and play at our place.  Every visit was filled with chuckles and a few "head shakes".  Smiles and light-hearted Mirth is what came with each visit. 

Whenever He could, he would come to my Ball games in Arthur....and the "JR. Farmer" connection unfolded between us for a few years.    My first real grown-up connection to Hugh that had nothing to do with the fact that we shared a gene pool.  (It made me feel so grown up to know people he knew too!)

Hugh was well...Hugh.  He had his own unique path to journey in this world...his own way of seeing the world and the people in it.   

Over the years I have come to realize, that Hugh helped me understand what Acceptance is.  Loving without judgement and critism...Loving without expectation.   Knowing that whether we see each other or not does not dimish the amount of Love and Caring that is felt. 

Our connection changed over time to phone calls and my die-hard need to write sappy Letters in the  Christmas Cards sent....again...it matters not how we connected, but that we did.

I am Grateful for the Smiles, the Laughter, the Mirth.  I am Grateful for being Loved by Hugh David Elgie and for being able to Love him right back. :)

I am Grateful that Hugh was Uniquely Hugh and will forever remember our "Rainbow Connection"

With Love,

Alisa
