My Uncle Glen passed to the next life last night. He was an amazing man, who set a wonderful example for me! I have so many good memories of reunions at his Bear Lake cabin from when I was tiny until I was a mom. I especially loved the fireside sing-alongs. I'll never sing "Sipping Cider Through A Straw" without wishing Uncle Glen were there to lead it. He was good!
I'm so thankful that I made it to the Ellis family reunion this summer! I really didn't have time to go. I had to be somewhere 30 minutes after it started and it was at least a 30 minute drive to get there, but I left early hoping I'd find someone there and almost all of my Aunts and Uncles, my Mom and Dad and lots of my cousins were there! Thankfully I got that last hug and kiss from Uncle Glen before I left. I want to be just like him when I grow up!
I'm so sorry for your loss. There's always comfort in knowing that he's in a better place with loved ones gone before.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great to think of Elaine with him now?
