The begining of the trip (recap)

*I'm putting this travel adventure in a couple of different post since it is so long.

The beginning of the week was very difficult. We had a wonderful prayer service for my uncle full of all the wonderful memories we all have of him. On Tuesday we had the funeral - this was also difficult. My sister sang amazing grace at the funeral and I acted as a pallbearer. This was very emotional for me because of all those that could be chosen, Aunt Theresa wanted me to be one of them. Although the circumstances sucked it was good to see so much family, especially those I had not seen for a very long time. All of the cousins I rarely get to see were around and I was able to catch up with a lot of them. I just wish we could have come together for a much happier note. My littler cousins are all growing up so fast so I am happy that many of them still remember who I am or at least which family I belong to - in this family that's totally acceptable.

My uncle was an amazing man and as I continue my journey through my new job and life I will forever keep his laughter, humor, and peacemaker mentality alive in everything I do. I love you very much Uncle Dave and will miss you very much!!!!
