In Memory of

Uncle James. Uncle James passed away Tuesday, November 11, 2008. Uncle James began Tim's uncle but also became mine 10 years ago when Tim and began dating. Uncle James was a wonderful man and will be missed by all who knew him. This is a picture of Uncle James on Christmas of 2005. He is happily sitting with our dog, Cosmo. It is with fond memories that I look at this picture and remember what a wonderful Christmas this was and all the many other great Holiday's we had with him.

No matter how much we attempt to prepare ourselves for the passing of a loved one, there is no easy way to grieve. All we are left with are the wonderful memories and life lessons in which our loved one has taught us.

If you are reading this, you have touched Tim and my life in some way. For this, I thank you. I thank you for being there for us, for being our friend. Some of you I do not see or talk with often. Some of you I speak with everyday. Those of you who I do not talk with often, I think of you and miss you. I know our lives get busy or you live far away, but I think of you often and wonder how you are doing. For those of you who I see and talk with often, well I know how you are doing I talk to you every day for crying out loud! (sorry, it was getting to heavy!) Seriously though, you all mean the world to me and I would do anything for you. I truly cherish each friendship, close or otherwise. Everyone of you has taught me something that I will carry with me forever. You have touched my heart. Thank you, thank you for just being you!

Thank you for sharing this post. It is in times like these that we stop to think about the true meaning of "family" and those special people in our lives. We love you and miss you! Even though we don't get to see you all the time, you are in our thoughts every day!
Love & Hugs, Aunt K and Uncle C
