Talked to Luke this weekend he of course had a hard time with the kids on Thursday, Camen has learned to run --- to the road. Since they decided to have more kids the house they live in isn’t going to be large enough so they are building. This means of course packing up furniture into storage until its time to move in. Julie was busy packing what she can and Luke would take the boxes and load them up. Camen was on the watch as her daddy walked in and out of the house, that’s when she got the bright idea to run out the door. Julie spotted her right away trucking out the door and ran to stop her, she thought it was a game and ran faster, straight to the road. They don’t live on a busy street but of course the minute your child aims in the wrong direction a car will be there and it was. Julie screamed her name Luke turned and yelled at her it scared her enough to stop; luckily the guy driving spotted her and stopped. Let’s just say she couldn’t sit well for a little while.
Last week my Moms brother was out enjoying the day playing golf, he mentioned that night he had a slight head ache and wasn’t feeling so well but figured the nice air might help him, mid game he fell from a massive stroke. My grand’s came home early from their trip to be with him and the family, Sunday he passed away. It tore a hole in my Gs heart to have to bury another child so soon; my Mom didn’t take this one so well. I guess being such a shock makes it worse.
Mom called me in tears trying her best to tell me about Uncle Dave, her stuttering and sniffles were hard to decipher exactly what had happened. It breaks my heart to hear the pain; she has such a sweet light springy voice as if she’s singing all the time. Before she hung up from me she was going to call Luke and Jacks to let them make arrangements. Tuesday we all are driving up to Anderson, SC to have his funeral.
I can’t say I really knew him that well because he did live so far away, we saw him on holidays and family reunions, their family traveled as much as we, with him being in the army.

It's scary when children get to that age--that's why it is imperative that we teach them to STOP immediately when we say the word. That is the time when obedience means the difference between life and death. Sounds like your brother has that special kind of voice :)
Sorry to hear about your Uncle. I'll keep you all in my prayers.
