Men like my uncle are a dying breed. This man showed me incredible love in my childhood and until the end of his life. He was my fathers older brother and as such, my fathers respect for him was obvious and earned. . He took us camping, he took us fishing…imagine 5 little girls with bamboo poles on the shores of lake berryessa and putah creek in California . We spent weekends and holiday together and I will never forget those days. I am lucky to have had him in my life and with his faith so strong, I believe he’s walking in the light of his king now. So I will choose to celebrate this honorable rare human being and although there is loss, I’m comforted knowing he was an honest and good soul.
