For you avid followers (haha) I know it's been a long time. I was just putting off this post until it was a little easier to write. A few weeks ago we had to say goodbye to Steve's uncle, Ron. Ron had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer over 4 years ago, and after a long and tough battle, the cancer won. Although we have many great memories with Ron, I will always remember his bond with his grandson, Tyler and watching those two play together. I remember this summer, sitting in Steve's parents' backyard, and Ron asking Tyler to sing his songs. So I was expecting him to belt out some "Wheels on the Bus", or something of that nature, but Tyler starts jamming to all Ron's favorite 50s songs. It was the cutest thing, and the pride on Ron's face said it all!
We had some great visits with Ron and our girls the last couple weeks of his life. Ron enjoyed watching the girls invade the house and break out all the toys. He'd even get down on the ground and play with them.
I felt like Ron was a "kid at heart" and I admired that about him. Sometimes, as adults, we are scared of looking silly or "unrefined", but that never mattered to him. He truly was a special person!
