the miracle of life

My uncle just passed away...minutes ago. We'll miss him very much, he was a good man.

What I find interesting is that I was watching this video when he passed. Life and death, the beginning and the end. Many babies do not have a chance to live, because some where along the line, we Americans, forgot the sanctity of life.

My uncle lived a full life. He had struggles, like us all, but it always intrigued me how close his family was. He was indeed, the patriarch. He was the glue.

I am thankful that his mother and father decided to allow him to live. My life was better off for it.
