It's been 2 years since Uncle Amos passed away and I couldn't help but think about him knowing that Chris and Ingrid were getting married this week.
We know that tomorrow's never promised, yet we still live our days as if tomorrow is guaranteed, I know I'm guilty of that.
(Uncle Amos & Chris....thanks InKee)
Whenever we have family gatherings here in Vegas I miss this guy. I miss his heart of Gold and how he always made us kids laugh when he'd clown on his cousins, (our Dad's) that still speak with a bit of broken english but manage to keep the "cool guy" status hahaha. When he was alive his house was the main gathering place. His kitchen the main preparation area for eatings, his table the main place to slap dominoes, and his BBQ grill the main cooking appliance. He loved when my brothers came down from Salt Lake so they could eat and play all day. If I met him before I was probably too young to remember but knowing him for the time I did especially when our Mapu Family started having our Christmas Party's here EVERY December, felt like I've known him forever. He was an awesome man that is greatly missed and I'm so greatful for the plan of salvation that confirms that I will see him again!
