Sept. 6, 2013

My uncle Doug passed away this morning unexpectedly.  I'm not going to be able to get home for the funeral and the distance between Maryland and Texas is really hitting me today.  :/

Doug was a wonderful member of our family.  He always made me (and anyone else with a sense of humor) laugh and I never saw him upset, angry, or even in a bad mood!  He made my aunt very happy.  He was my dad's partner in crime growing up.

I will miss seeing him at holidays...I'll miss trying out his homemade wine...and I will be sad that someone special is missing from Mountaindale (one of the places I carry always in my heart).

I know he is in a better place now but I will miss him.  He was such an earthy person.  I know I will think of him every time I get the chance to get lost in those gorgeous Frederick county mountains.
