I Remember

Its been 13 years, today (well tonight) since Uncle Orison died. I did these two layouts yesterday and today, in his memory. If I said all the things I remember I would have a huge album full of layouts...well maybe anyway, and would run out of pictures of him, because we have several, but he was usually behind the camera, not in front of it! He was THE BEST Uncle, and he had a huge impact on my life. I guess I didn't realize just how much, till he was gone. But then thats not unusual. I just wanted to show he is not forgotten....I still remember. I still miss you Orison.

Journaling reads:

I remember all those times I would race my brother to be the first one to greet you, when you came for a visit.

I remember your smile and how it made me feel like all was right with the world.

I remember your laugh, and how it would make me want to laugh too.

I remember always wanting to sit on one side of you at the dinner table; and feeling my little hand in yours as we bowed our heads in prayer.

I remember how you always seemed to have a camera or two in your hands, and how you always said how important it was to write the names and dates on every picture.

I remember our last vacation in Minnesota together, the summer before I got married, and how you let me use your camera with the black and white film in it, while you used the one with color. I had the best time that year!

I remember being able to sit for hours listening to you tell about your many adventures, both the summers mowing yards, and the winters in Minnesota.

I remember YOU.
