Oh, Uncle Pete! I wish these days with you hadn't gone by so fast. The first day we met at the nursing home, you told me "Sissy, don't get attached to me. I'm here to go home" I later knew he meant he was ready to go home to heaven. Although those words didn't stop me. I got attached!!
I recall multiple times of us both bickering at each other that we would kick each other's butts but, we always laughed about it in the end. Also, if you ever needed my you wouldn't press your call...
