Uncles

My mom's brothers, my three Uncles are some of my most favorite men on the planet, besides my Dad.  I saw them for dinner tonight at my parents house, and they never seem to fail in making me laugh.  They always have stories to tell, give the best hugs, and always have my best interest at heart.

My three uncles were there for me when things were rough...always asking how I was, and making sure I was doing okay.  There's something about an Uncle...they're part dad, part friend.  When I was growing up, life was chaotic for everyone.  I'm the youngest of 10 grandchildren on my mother's side, so family get togethers were chaotic to say the least!  As I grew up, I've become really close with my uncles.  

Getting together with them is so much fun.  They share funny stories, and talk about the days when they were growing up.  Stories about my grandparents, and their old neighborhoods.  Talking about my mom as a little girl, and their mischief as the three older brothers.  

I'm pretty lucky to have them in my life.  I'm not really sure if they know how much I truly love them, but I couldn't imagine life without them.  I felt that Uncle Jesse and Michelle's relationship could apply to any of my Uncles.  They're all super cool in their own way, and are there to make me laugh when I need it...or not! ;)
