Today would have been my Uncle's 70th birthday. [View all]

He passed unexpectedly in 2014. Just went to bed one night and that was it. Likely a stroke.

When my turn to go upstairs comes he'll never let me live it down in the hereafter but yeah I miss him.

That said I'm glad he didn't live long enough to see that orange pile of feces move in to the White House. I'm glad he didn't have to celebrate his 70th in quarantine. It would have killed him to not be able to be with his family on that day.
