dear ole Uncle Dave

its been almost 2 months since we said goodbye you told me not to cry though I ask myself why when all I do is cry. you sent an angel in the form of two of your Favorite Animals. the first being a cat and the second being a Squirrel whom we have named Dave because like you he sits on the feeder and won;'t let anyone else eat (only you sat on your toy box) I fell asleep one night and there you were in my dreams looking at me and smiling saying its alright, things will work out. funny part is since that night work has not stopped In Fact the very next day I was offered a Maternity leave if she did not find an actual teacher. God took you too soon but he knew better than I that your job was done. Thank you for all you gave us you were Smarter than most Taught me all the Math I know (well dad helped) and that is more than Most. You knew when to give support and when to back away and let me grow. you were a dad when Dad was not there. you cared when others did not care. you gave when others would not. you had faith in me that I would Graduate when others maybe had none. So here is to you Dave the most thoughtful person anyone could ever know now off I go to scold a kitty who is lots like charlie with a bit o cammie mixed in fore she is eating the grass o what silly lass that there cat is.
