Lost my uncle

Lost my uncle, he was the only other blacksheep in the family. With blacksheep I mean not following the norm.
His addiction to alcohol took him away. He was an original hippy, made the overland trip from Europe to India many times, lived in Afghanistan told me many stories about this once so friendly place.
But his favorite places were Sri Lanka and India.
He was the only other family member to grow and smoke weed. I had my first whitey from some affy plants given to me on my 16 birthday what made my mom furious. lol
We hadjust started smoking and were always smoking low quality marrocan, I told my uncle that weed was just not strong enough for me. He gave me a baggy and warned me. I didn't listen.lol
I remember when I was back home for the holidays , we were smoking some nice afghan hash and talked about asia on the balcony while the others were getting drunk and started fighting.
My first clear memory of him was my 5th birthday, he was living in a hippy comune and mom aloud me to stay there for a couple a days I loved it. On my birthdat he asked me what I wanted to do , I said I want to have a fancy dress party and fries so the whole commune dressed up even more strange and went to the village restaurant.
I miss you, your art, your cooking, your thoughts, your love.
R.I.P.

Thank you.
I wish he could have seen my son. I am glad that I spoke with him on the phone just before he died.
He has seen more of the world then most people.
He had a good live apart from some heavy drinking from time to time. Went to see him in rehab a couple of times. he saved me from serious alcohol addiction.
I have only good thoughts when thinking about him

Thanks you for your words. That was I was thinking. A cross of pure Afghan x Kerala X Cambodian. Call it Moonstone, he gave me a stone when I was young and told me It was a a stone from the moon, It was my favorite possession for a long time.
peace

thats shitty man, i had my nana pass away from a battle with cancer a yr ago. she was also a stoner. she used to grow plants and she gave me some of her old books from the 80s on growing. i also found seeds in her fishing tackle box there probably from the 80's one of these days im gonna try to germ some. im glad i got to smoke with her before she passed. not a day goes by i dont think about her.

Thanks again to all of you. Just spoke with mom on the phone, and his last wish was to have his ashes to be taken into the woods.

Yeah, I was thinking about this. It will be my first attempt in breeding.
Since he loved Afghanistan and Kerala i will try to mix two of those.( feels strange to use the pat tense). Luckily a mate comes over here soon and can bring me some seeds.
It will be called moonstone..
peace
