Hey uncle Kenny, it´s me again. Well I got married this past January... all week the weather said it was supposed to rain, we were very nervous trying to plan what we would have to do if it rained since the entire wedding was outside. The day of the weather was still calling for rain but Chris kept telling me to not worry that it would end up fine. All day we were worried but we didn´t get anything except for a mist when we were pronounced at the end of the ceremony, I know that was everyone you got up there, I know y´all were there that day and I hope you thought everything was beautiful, I miss you like crazy uncle Kenny, still kills me to think I talked to you on the phone not 3 days before you passed and you were fine, I love you and miss you so much
