Today Is A Bittersweet Day.

Today is a sweet day. It is the day my wonderful husband was born. I won't say how many years ago but they were just the right amount so that we would one day meet, fall in love and become a family. Just a few years earlier or later and that would not have been the case. Happy birthday to the man I love, to the man that has blessed my life in more ways than I could ever put into words. To the man that is a wonderful husband and father and a true example of so much of what we strive to be. Love you Dale!
Dale's birthday is the "sweet" behind this day. The phone call I received earlier today has caused the bitter. My most wonderful Uncle David passed away today. I wrote a post a while back about how blessed my life has been because of all the cousins in it. Well those great cousins came from fantastic parents and Uncle David was the cream of the crop in my book. He is the baby of the family but was the leader in so many ways. He was the Uncle I most looked up to as an example of righteous living. He gave everyone a bad time because he always wanted us to reach our full potential in life as well as in spirit. I know for years he was my mother's rock. The brother she always knew she could count on when she needed the kind of support that only a brother could give. Of course Uncle David was this giant of a wonderful man in part because of who he chose for his eternal companion. I'm sure he would agree 100% with me on that. Uncle David you will be missed but your example and love for your family and extended family will live on in our hearts forever. I love you Uncle David.
