Tonton Jacques

My grand uncle passed away last monday morning and we still can't believe it. This week feels like a giant rollercoaster of emotions: denial, tears, nostalgia, tenderness and sometimes laughter while watching pictures of him trying to read something upside down with his magnifying glass, eating a giant cup of ice cream or wearing his sun hat, way too small for his head... He was a grumpy guy, a scientist with big brains and big heart, easily softened when asking how he and my grand aunt met.
We love you very very much, Jacques, rest in peace. I hope you're having fun playing tennis, biking or reading. I really hope you're happy, wherever you are. This is for you.
