Prayers for my Aunt Mary & her family

This blog posting comes with much sorrow. Yesterday morning my Uncle Dan Sinner passed away. If you read my previous blog from our ND/MN vacation you read that he had massive strokes the days following my cousin's wedding. He really never came out of that and earlier this week his family decided to take him off life support. Dan was only 70yrs old.

I will always remember my last time seeing my uncle. It was like it was meant to be. We sat for a hours at my cousin's wedding and visited. We had the drink we had so many years ago, finally, we were elated that the waitress knew what we were talking about! As we sat with our coveted drinks we talked about life. His grandchildren; Lyle, Jeff, Shaun, Paige and Alexa and how proud he was of all of them. Health; Dan has gone through a few rough years as far as health issues, mostly from working on his feet all his life (knees, feet, back). He didn't want to go through the same back surgery that one of his buddy's recently had and didn't come out of very well. But what I remember most is almost is this: He said that he's done a lot in his life, and given, would he go back and change some of the choices or things he'd done? No he said, I don't think I would. Life's been pretty good to me. Never second guess things you'd done in your past. Just be thankful for the future. Never be afraid to try something, even if you don't know if it's the right time or choice.

Here's to you Uncle Dan: May life's journey lead you down your road and only you can be the driver of your own destiny. Never look back, for it was all worth it in the end.

I will miss seeing you at holidays and family gatherings. Love ya!

Please keep my aunt Mary, her son's Dan Jr (Barb), Scott (Mary), and daughter Mary, and all the grandkids mentioned above in your thoughts an prayers.
