Uncle Antly, I will always remember your greeting "Hey honey child come on in here and give me a hug" with your arms spread out waiting. The next question would be 'Where's your joker?" When I presented my intended to I forgot to prepare him for you questions. Needless to say he was not happy to have his manhood challenged. All of your witty saying will be cherished. I thank God for allowing you in our life.
Ove Always

Uncle I will always remember your greeting 'Hey Honey Child come on in here and give me a hug" as your arms would be spread open wide. Also your question "Where's your joker." When I introduced you to my intended, needless to say I did not prepare him for your line of questions. After you departed he was not a happy camper because his manhood had been challendge.
I think God for allowing you to be a part of my life. I will miss you and your witty comments.
Love always

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
