Every child should have an “Uncle Ed”.
I was blessed to have an Uncle Ed in my life. As a child, the most fun memories I have are when Donny and I got to stay with Ed when mom and dad had things to do. On Sunday nights, we would beg to stay with Ed while they went to church. We would even throw in some tears for good measure. Getting to spend the evening with Ed was like going to Camden Park. What made staying with him so fun? Probably the fact that he was a kid at heart. He was the one who would get on the floor and wrestle with us. He taught us how to put a little milk in our ice cream to make ice cream crystals. He would chase us around the house on his hands and knees eliciting screams of laughter. He came up with the “not so dangerous” idea of pulling us up the road on a sled behind a motorcycle in the snow. He was the definition of fun.
As we got older, the jokes started. He was always telling jokes and causing laughter wherever he went. When he and Sue got together, you could expect a competition of who could tell the most jokes – and some were a little naughty! And he was always playing tricks on people. He could look you in the eye and tell you an outlandish tale and you’d never know it was a fib until he’d start laughing or say Gotcha!
Then we grew up and life happened and we weren’t kids anymore. But that didn’t stop the fun. We worked on houses together and Ed was always causing mischief. Dad would get aggravated and Ed would just laugh at him. He could make the most tedious jobs fun.
Dad was the person we would aways call when we had a problem we didn’t know how to fix. And then dad died. Ed took over there. When we needed help on a project or needed tools we didn’t have or just advise on how to do something, he became the person we called…and always with a bit of fun and laughter.
Yes, my life was blessed to have an Uncle Ed – doubly blessed because my kids got to grow up knowing him too. I hope he knew how special he was.
