Memories Remain

Two years ago today, I lost my uncle.  He was shot and killed - no one knows by whom or why - and I will never understand how someone can have so little consideration for someone else's life that they can just take it away like that.

Believe it or not, our family actually became closer and stronger after his loss.  I can't help but think that it's all thanks to him.

I have to take a moment (or two or fifty) today to remember the little things, the amazing people and the moments that make our lives memorable.  I will never again see a powder blue Trans Am or hear a Journey song without thinking of him.  And I'm so thankful to have those memories...fortunately, they will never go away.

Remembering you today and always.  RIP Uncle John.
