goodbye
to my uncle who taught me that you can tell stories on your skin, that everyone is different, which makes us all the same, and who let me race around the house in your wheelchair encouraging me to make another wheelie attempt, thank you.the only rules you lived by were the ones you set yourself. the beaten path was something you only visited occasionally, otherwise you blazed your own trail and expected others to do the same. you never let physical limitations stop you from experiencing life, laughter, and love. i don't know if you ever knew it, but you were a hero to most of us.
i know that wherever you are now, you're free from pain and i like to think that your hereafter is filled with horses to ride, streams to fish, animals to train, plentiful game trails, and solitude with the chance for company when the need arises. our prayers and love go with you, safe travels.
i think my cousin tim said it best..."Good bye Uncle Steve. The only man to actually run away and join the circus. We'll miss you."
