Uncle Ted - I cannot communicate with you since you passed on to the other side. I'm happy that your mind, body, and soul are free from the pain. But I am sad I can't reach out to you anymore. Your presence will be felt everyday with memories I hold of us. For those memories I thank you. Each game I play will be dedicated to you along with Grandma Z. I will continue to work hard to fulfill the dream of you seeing me or Mike in a NBA uniform. I know you will be proud and watching as I continue this amazing journey. I thank you for all the laughter and smiles you provided my family and me.
Uncle Ted, I love you and you will be greatly missed.
"I am leaving you with a gift -- peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid." John 14:27

Jonte' - Sorry to hear about your uncle Ted. Hope you guys are hanging in there. I know you are both looking forward to getting home, but I also know you have worked too hard to just "play out the string". Continue to take full advantage of the opportunity and keep working hard.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure if you guys were up watching the Duke/Butler game last night, but I tried to call during the last timeout to predict that Butler would run The Picket Fence - wanted to make sure you two didn't get caught watching the paint dry :)
Talk to you soon!
