It's been a couple weeks since I blogged. The year has not started out very well. On February 2nd I lost my hero, my Uncle Eddie. He had been not well for a while and lost the battle. I can't tell you how deep of a hole this has made in my heart. He was more of a Dad to me than an Uncle and was always, since I was a little girl, my hero. Whenever someone would tell me I looked like my Mom or Grandma, I'd say, "No way, I look like my Uncle Eddie!!" When I joined the Army, I wanted to go Airborne just like him and get an Airborne tattoo - just like him.
He touched so many people in his life and had so many friends, who I am sure can tell lots of stories of good times with Uncle Eddie. You see, with him there was NEVER dull moment. Whether it be at home aggravating Grandpap, at the bar (his bar - Fat Eddies), at his camp huntin, or at the Legion - he always made someone laugh, and was very well respected wherever he went!
We will all miss you, Uncle Eddie. STS
