As I listened to my aunts tell stories about my parents, I was grateful that I still had them as a resource to learn more about my parent's, as they have been gone for a long time.
I was reminded how fortunate I was to have them, as they were my greatest cheerleaders. When I was younger, I became involved with swimming. As I talked with my aunt, she shared with me how my dad would tell everyone that someday my sister and I would be in the Olympics. He had such confidence that we would be successful in whatever we attempted-proud parents.
So today as we gathered to celebrate my uncle, I also felt that through the stories that were shared, the lives of my parents were also celebrated.
