UNCLE (CRACKED)

Sometimes, when I sit down and think about how much fun the journey of my life has been, like this morning, I cannot help but be somewhat startled at how I've changed from a callow youth into this Uncle who will take his niece out to the driving range (hopefully, my kids can join me there) and who brings his baby to various parks so that she can run about.

Even though business is tough, and does cause me some worry, we can get by and seeing Truth with that cheeky grin just validates everything we do for the family.

Soon Lion will add to the household joy, and no doubt, will wreak more havoc on the cats.

So here's to another year older and hopefully wiser. Till I next celebrate with the Apple of my eye again. Sometimes, I can't help but feel that you and me were meant for each other. We fit like Apples and Fruit Seller Uncles.
