To Uncle Joe

It's been a long time. This is probably the ten billionth time i'm writing this, but i want to try to keep up with this blog a bit more. i haven't really said anything here since the end of last year, so here's a long overdue update.

i think the main reason for my writing this is the fact that my great uncle will be taken off life support tomorrow. Something about that just makes me feel like writing down everything i wish i could tell him. We were never close, but it's hard to picture this year's Thanksgiving without him. He is, after all, my grandfather's brother, who without i would not have the wonderful cousins i know and love. i wish i could remember more about him, but at this point, i'm glad that i just get to see him one more time tomorrow before he leaves.

There have been a lot of things going on in my life lately. i started a new job as of two weeks ago, and i don't think i've ever learned so much in my entire life. As of two weeks ago, i never changed a poopy diaper. By today i've been there, and then some. It's been a little gross, but mainly exciting. And yes, it drives me crazy when my three year old class cries for what appears to me to be absolutely no reason at all, like "i'm crying because she's roaring at me." i'm still a total newbie when it comes to this line of work, but there is nowhere i would rather be than walking around that playground, surrounded by kids who dress up as Captain America on a regular day of preschool and explain to me how they'll be four this year, and five next year.

There's still so much i want to share. i wish i could have shared this with you sooner. i hope that one day, we will meet again. We will have so much to exchange when that day comes.

May angels lead you in.
