Life Changes

As I think back on some of my childhood memories, I often think about my dad's brothers coming to visit.
I had four uncles, only one that lived in Delaware, Ohio.      The others lived in different states, Uncle Wayne, Georgia, Uncle Fred, Mo and Uncle Elvis who lived in Maine.
  It was Uncle Elvis, his wife Rosie and four children I recall visiting most of the time.  It was always in the summer and without fail they would all line up single file and walk into the living room and sit on the couch.  When I got older, it was usually just Uncle Elvis and Aunt Rosie who came to see us.

For many years I haven't seen them, and shamefully never got out to the east coast to return the favor to them after all these years.   Just this year, I lost my uncle and my aunt.  We grow up thinking we have all the time we want, so we let the years roll by.  My dad had lost his brother and a lot of his friends.  I am going to miss them and pray always for my cousins and their families.
