I would chose my Uncle. He was actually my step-mom's (who I am NOT a big fan of) brother, but I was closer to him than any of my real aunts or uncles. He was more of my best friend. He died almost 2 years ago- on Valentine's day. He was only 36. He was in an accident on a motorcylce while on vacation in Arkansas where there is no helmet law. He was an amazing man who had a rough start in life, but turned into an angel.

He was in and out of jail from adolensence to his late 20's, and his last time, he was there was for 3 years. He had twins that are now 17, a boy and a girl. He felt that he had let them down since he was so messed up for most of their young life. But when he got out of prison, he changed every thing. He prayed that God would give him a second chance with his kids and his life. He started working/living with a friend of his doing construction. Within 2 years, he had started dating the guy's daughter and started his own construction company. The guy's daughter is now the mother of his 2 precious little girls Angel and Kaylie. They are now 3 and 4. They've lost their daddy. He used to say that the girls were his second chance that God gave him to make it right. And he did.

I would tell him every second that I loved him and how much respect I had for him. I'll never forget what his hugs felt like. At his funeral, there were so many stories that came out about the little things he did for people. He didn't brag about them, or flaunt them. His fiance didn't even know some of the things he had done.

One time, my boyfriend's truck's engine needed to be replaced. It cost us $1800, and the mechanic wanted $1000 before he could get the truck back and we only had $500. I was talking to my uncle, telling him about it, not thinking any thing of it, and he told me to come over that weekend for a bbq. He ended up writing us a check for $500 and told me to come back the next weekend to babysit and we could call it even. He had only met my boyfriend once.

I have gone on and on, and I could keep going!! But I take every chance I get to talk about him, he was big- headed so I know he loves it!! lol
