Uncle Bills Birthday

UNCLE BILL’S BIRTHDAY It’s Uncle Bill’s birthday today and we’ve hardly celebrated his leather jacket his teasing ways seventy’s haircut and mustache his deep green car with crevices and dents the way he looks at us from an old photograph sitting in his faraway car working with my other grandma at Scott’s ...she’s gone too 4/27/2018

Fitting tribute, so well-penned. Feel that I knew him, all from these few lines... Great write, Kim! :) gw

oh my, this is really clever and also too bad he is gone. My mom's cousins are all gone now. And her uncles, etc. It must be so sad when that happens and you may not even have siblings around any more.

He died when I was in high school...older than me then. I’m much older than him now. Loved him!
