Say Uncle

While they are downstairs playing soccer

after watching football and explaining endzones

and replays

I am stealing a moment of thanks.

Sam's eyes say it all really.

What more could I add?

He made those cupcakes today with Eddie

to honor the man who is Super Uncle Man.

Crab cakes, roasted brussel sprouts, quinois, and cupcakes are on the menu tonight.

Flavored with admiration, appreciation, joy, humor

and love for our downstairs Uncle.

Sailor Uncle.

Football watching Uncle.

Throw me on the couch Uncle.

He likes to play rough Uncle.

T.V. will rot your brain Uncle.

Motorcycle Diner Uncle.

Don't tell him that I had a bad day at school Uncle.

I may not have a dad, but I have an Uncle Uncle.

We love you.

Thank you for giving us this chance

to celebrate

all that you do

Uncle.
