Uncle Jimmy was a constant in my life from the time I was born. My sweet Mama always considered him to be her first born...they shared a very special bond. Uncle Jimmy was the most caring and big hearted fella you'll ever meet, but he also carried a "need" to aggravate ๐ I loved nothing more than to hear him get tickled...he had one of those contagious laughs. He absolutely loved to get one over on somebody but if in the end he could make you smile, then his job was done! This man had a way with words and he felt deep. If you were fortunate enough to be loved by him, he made sure it was a love you felt in your bones and never missed an opportunity to show you how much he loved you! I can hear him saying "Joanie", "Uncle Kev", "Kecks", and "Karm-Karm" on repeat in my head and that's what I will hold onto. I miss him terribly already and he has definitely left a void...but I am so thankful that's he's not longer suffering or in pain and that he's reunited with all of his loved ones that have gone before him.
