He's gone

My uncle is now in heaven with our Heavenly Father. I'm glad this battle is over for him. He was in such pain. In the next few days we will have the funeral. Then help my aunt, as much as we can, to finish up moving. They were in the processes of selling their house when my uncle got so sick.

Reflecting on my uncle today. He loved life, babies, tormenting those he loved, and the great outdoors. He'd get so tickled at little kids that it was contagious. Laughing is the only contagious thing I'd like to catch, kwim? Yet, he was a hard worker. Wore my butt out trying to keep up with him. Most of my memories are of me being little and me always trying to impress him. Don't know if it worked or not, but I sure tired hard. Also remember in my teenage years of him having a chain saw in hand, I'm cleaning up debris or helping split the wood. Uncle Bob was the only male in my life, besides my grandpa, growing up. He loved the outdoors as much as I do, the quiet of the country life. Gonna miss him horribly.
