That’s such a heartfelt and beautiful memory. “Hitchhiker” is such a charming nickname—sounds like you had a special bond with Uncle Dick. Those evening horse rides after dinner at Grandma and Papa’s must have been magical moments, full of warmth and family togetherness.
It’s okay not to have inherited the horse-riding skill; the love and joy of those moments are what really matter. It’s clear how much he meant to you and to everyone around him.
If you ever want to share more memories or even write something to honor him, I’d love to help. How are you feeling about everything right now?
