Good Bye Uncle Jack....

I was trying to find a poem that would best describe my uncle but I couldn't find one that wasn't sad and morbid, My memories of my uncle are fun, we would always go to his property for Easter and just to visit when we were younger I remember he would take us out on his 4 wheeler and one time when we were there like 8 of us had to sleep in the small trailer because it started raining or snowing. He came to our graduations, our birthday parties and holidays. My uncle Jack is the one who gave my my nickname (no I will not tell you what it is :-) ) I have good memories of him. He got sick with colon and liver cancer a few years ago and towards the end was in pain and wasn't getting better. In April he was given two weeks to live and just passed away last night in his sleep. I am very sad that he is gone, but glad that he is not in pain anymore. I thank my aunt Debra for taking care of him and being there for him in his time of need because I know that he is not always the easiest person :-) I just wanted to say Good Bye Uncle Jack.... I love you and miss you but I am relieved that you are now out of pain. Tell Grandma and Grandpa that we love them and miss them :-)
These are pictures from my high school graduation before my uncle was sick and I know that this is the way he would like to be remembered, and it is the way I will always remember him.

Shanes Birthday Party

We celebrated Shane's 28th birthday yesterday at his parents house, this is the cake I got him.. I made him believe that it was going to be something bad though....he was surprised and really liked it. I am very pleased with how it came out :-) He wouldn't let me take a picture of him so the one of his hat is the best I could to... it is a cool picture though :-) His sister got him the hat:-)
