Uncle John

My Uncle John passed away today. He had one of those unfortunate diseases that not only ends your life, but does so in a way where you become unrecognizable in the last days.

I don't think I'll remember him that way though.

I'll remember his vacations. Though I was only around on the vacations where their family was visiting ours, I saw a man that during those times was often excited and giving. That's the Uncle John I'll remember most often.

Pray most for his wife Melanie and daughter Sara. Their lives have seen more grief than anyone should. These are from the same side of my family that lost a father/grandfather just 6 months ago.
