Why is it that every holiday season makes me think about the one who had let me down more in the past than ever. The holiday season makes me want my family near. The holidays make me miss Aunt Dee, Kathy, Al, Uncle Joe, and Poppa more than ever. The holidays make me think of the last time I've seen them. The last time I've seen him. The holidays make me want the surprise and excitement of his car in my driveway for everyone to know that my Uncle is visiting. The holidays make me miss my Uncle David ever so much.
I am one of his little girls, spoiled by him as we grew up and then all the sudden gone for work and never having time for us anymore. He's the number one question we get, "So have you heard from your uncle?"
A phone call on Christmas is the only time I ever hear his voice. He's let me down but how can I hold this against him for so long. One day he will be gone and we only have so many days together. Life may not be fair, but to have my uncle surprise my for Thanksgiving would be the best start to the holidays.
I miss his hug, his voice, and to know he just doesn't have time is somewhat understandable but to have him HOME would be a thanks for my whole family. Even if he has talked about it, I don't want to know. I would love to drive home late with Rae after classes let out to see his car in the driveway. I would be the happiest person ever.
For the holidays coming, all I want is a hug from my uncle.
Till Later
