Yeah, so it was my 23rd bday on Saturday, but I spent it driving down to Virginia and back – total of 10 hours driving and 500 miles to my car.

My uncle, Carl Bender, the one I bought the Ford Taurus from, passed away and the service was on Saturday. He had a brian tumor that spread and slowly robbed him of his day to day body functions. It was just horrible to see him suffer like that.

He’s a US War Veteran, both WWII and Korea. He’s also a Knight of Columbus. They gave him a soldier’s burial, and give him great honor… A soldier of Christ…

It felt weird, because all my relatives were there, and right after the funeral turned to me and said have a happpy birthday. Just felt so out of place and strange… Well, that’s my story…
