Today we laid our beloved Uncle Jimmy Don to rest, it was an emotional day for everyone. We cried, we laughed and we visited with loved ones near and dear. I will continue to keep our family in my prayers, but rejoice that he is at peace. My biggest prayer is for Judy and their sweet grandkids, Thank You for loving my Uncle Jimmy Don like no one else could! =) That all being said I found the poem i wanted to read today, but left it at home =( this is a promise that we should all make to Uncle Jimmy Don to Honor him and what all he stood for. so here it is: I Promise I Promise to carry on your contagious smile. The same one that would light up a room the minute you walked in. I promise to laugh and never take myself to seriously. to love harder and forgive faster I promise to be content in every sense of the word. To be Thankful for the air in my lungs and for all the years we were Blessed to have with you. I promise to try to have as big a heart as you did. to be selfless. To know what I have, and know what I can give to others. I promise to grieve that absence of your physical being for only a moment and then I promise to set you free. I promise to never give up on others, even when Im ready to give up on myself. I promise to be the friend and mentor as you were. To be a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on or a set of ears to simply listen. To let you hear every giggle and feel every hug, to know every heartache and to be there for every triumphant moment. The most important promise I can make, despite all the failures and all my losses, A promise that carries the equivalence of all the rest combined is this...I promise to make you Proud. With all my Love.
