i owe a lot to my uncle ("unk") for helping me to create my blog (and i must say we had fun doing it). many have told me that i should keep a journal to record my thoughts and experiences of this journey. i love reading the journals/blogs of friends i've met on the internet who are also traveling this same road and have gained SO much insight from them. my unk is my mom's only sibling and lives in california. over the years we did not have the opportunity to see each other often and would only talk maybe 2-3 times a year. since my mom's death he has been a wonderful source of strength and support. without fail he has called me every sunday since my mom died and has only missed maybe a handful of sundays in 17 months.
unk and dunk (dottie, his wife, my aunt) were here for the last week to visit, to make me laugh, reminisce, and to give me and bob some respite. unk admitted that he and dunk were a little nervous about staying with my dad (russ) but it was something they wanted to do. they did a fantastic job and i really think russ may have recognized unk at one point for a brief flash. i know my mom is very proud of her baby brother. thanks unk & dunk!!! i love you both.

Nice Niece Nurse Nancy -- Love, love, love reading your blog! That first entry was so beautiful, and brought tears to my eyes.
I'm so glad my dear old dad was there to help you set it up, give you and Bob a night or two out, and generally bring a smile to your beautiful face.
