Sweet! I love people who acknowledge those who have helped form a person. So much of who we are can be attributed to our past.
I love this post.
Poetic, gracious and lovely.
Makes me love Uncle Pete too.
I, in fact, had an Uncle Pete.
He was one of the best men I never really knew.

This post made me bawl. Flo sonds wonderful.
Great post. Yours is a blog where it seems simple and quick, and then I realize I have to read it again, and maybe again, and then I realize, OH, that's deep!

Tell Pete Happy Birthday from all of us down here in SJ. Very nice post
Happy Birthday, Pete!
