Uncle Terry - Rest in Peace

I received news yesterday that my Uncle Terry passed away in his sleep. He was only in his early 50's, he had heart problems which is sadly what took him from us so soon. I am posting this to honor him and to help myself grieve, so bare with me as I reminisce.

He was one of my favorite Uncle's growing up. He was the uncle who always made me laugh with corny jokes. He has three kids who are just as goofy as he was. Terry always showed up to family events and was the person who I sat by beacuse we would make fun of our wacky family members. I have been thinking that the holidays won't be the same without him. You always treated me like everyone else, you didn't care that I am gay, you just loved me. I will miss you.... I hope you are out of pain and in a better place.

I won't be blogging for the next few days as I have to attend his funeral. I know you didn't know him personally, but keep him in your thoughts. Tell a corny joke this week. He'll be smiling from above when you do. Here's one for you, Uncle Terry....

Why doesn't a chicken wear pants? Because his pecker is on his head!

Always Remember 9-11-2001

I, like most of you, will never forget that horrible day 5 years ago. I still have a hard time believing that it happened. 2948 innocent people died. The images still fresh in my mind. The plane crashing into the WTC, the collapse of both towers, the vulnerability I felt as the Pentagon was hit, and the pride I felt (and still feel) for the heroes on Flight 93. I pray that it never happen again. No matter what political views you have, no matter how you feel about our goverment, or what has happened since.... Please take time to remember and reflect. Do something nice for someone. That is what I am taking out of this awful day. Godspeed and peace out!!

O-H I-O
