Make A Difference

---

This old gal…

Had to laugh…the word of the day popping up…on point…so perfect…could not have picked a better word to describe someone she’d been thinking about recently…

Uncle Dave…younger brother of that mother of mine…fourteen years younger…only eleven when little me was born…kind of like a brother…a mentor…a bff forever…

Lived next door…went to his high school events…school plays…football games…sat outside and talked to him when he worked summers painting the nursing home next door…

Uncle Dave played with us…talked to us…made us laugh…

Uncle Dave pushed little me on the swing…took her Trick or Treating…was her date to the Girl Scout Father Daughter Dinner…

Uncle Dave…was funny…bubbly…the life of the party…

Uncle Dave…was blithesome…that Word of the Day…even MORE than blithesome if there is such a thing…

Uncle Dave was one of a kind…a quick wit…a heart of gold…

Uncle Dave was always there when we needed him…going above and beyond…doing more than should have been expected…

Uncle Dave was unique…special…loved…

And for three little towheads who thought he hung the moon…Uncle Dave…made a difference…
​
And those brothers of mine…would agree…
