Thank You for Being an Uncle

Thank You for Being an Uncle

A Poem by Shelley Warner
"

photos are from a Labor Day back packing trip

"

Thank you for being an uncle,

all these years

to a boy living with his Nana,

his dad in another place,

his papa dead.

 

Thank you for being an uncle,

and gifting him with many memories

of BBQ’s, camping, and hikes.

 

Thank you, Uncle Ethan for being

Zach’s uncle

Hats off to one who steps in to fill an emptiness left by death. Despite the losses, Zach sounds very fortunate.

He really is. My daughter and her husband are a loving support to my two grandkids.
This is such a nice tribute...like it is your voice and Zach's together...
