My relationship with My Uncle was special and Unique. He was the youngest sibling and I was the youngest grandchild and was always down at the farm. I would tag along behind him where ever he would go. My parents even made him my Godfather/Gaurdian, and him and my dad would get into all kinds of mischief. From hunting out west to Hunting on Campbell’s hill. To falling in or driving on the ice on the creek, during his annual birthday/family reunions.My younger years were so much fun, even though like most kids I didn’t think so at the time. I have so many fond. memories spending time with my uncle. From making homemade ice cream, to sneaking off to play board games in the old homestead. I never questioned his love for me.
I will miss him dearly, however I know he is in a better place with no more pain. When heavens gates opened this morning I imagine it was for sure, a joyous occasion with being reunited with Aunt Mary, his Parents and Siblings.
I love you Uncle Wimp, and I always will.
Till me meet again, in heavens door!❤❤
