Here’s to the good Uncles
The Uncles that show up
The Uncles that build forts and big dreams
The Uncles that laugh at every joke and pretend like they are hearing it for the first time every single time
The Uncles that love without conditions
The Uncles that give another goodbye hug one more time for the fifth time in a row
The Uncles that get on the floor and play cars, go fishing and watch ballet recitals
The Uncles that listen to hopes and dreams and tell them they can do anything because they believe in them
The Uncles that would rather spend their weekends with their niece or nephew because they say their is no other place they would rather be
The Uncles that help with homework, hold little hands and sneak soda and ice cream when mom and dad aren’t looking
The Uncles that show up to all the practices and games, sit front and center and cheer the loudest
The Uncles that know just how important their role is and wouldn’t have it any other way
The Uncles that sit at the kids table just because and endure kids birthday parties without a single complaint
The Uncles that not only make memories but make the time to play such a huge role and fill shoes that nobody else could ever replace
The ones that know just how lucky they are to have that title and wouldn’t trade it for the world
Here’s to the good Uncles
