Uncle Bob
There are certain people in this world whom,when you are with them,make you feel good.I certainly am not one of them. In fact,tellers close their windows when they see me coming,checkout people turn off their lights,and I have to go to the self checkout station. My Uncle Bob was someone who always made me feel good when I saw him. In fact,after we had parted ways,I still felt happy for a long time afterward that I got to see him. He had that gift of making you feel glad that you were with him,and just making you feel good. The world was a much better place because of him.I always looked forward to seeing him. I pray that I could be a little like him,instead of people running or reaching for the barf bag when they see me.If I keep connected to The Lord,and let HIS light,and HIS life shine out from me,hopefully I can be an "Uncle Bob" to someone.

You're SO right about uncle bob! he just made you feel good when you were around him! and when i think of him and his booming laugh, i still laugh right out loud!
also, remembering uncle bob made me think about aunt helen. and how uncle bob always made you feel good is the way that auntie helen always made me feel. i ALWAYS knew that she loved me... always had a "hi, sweetie, or hi,dear", and never ever judged me. she just loved me and i always knew it, and it always made me feel good. and she gave the BEST hugs.
Amen to both,and yes,Aunt Helen was the best.
