Best Christmas Present Ever

I am very grateful for the company of my friends and family this holiday season. Their companionship and generosity are something I am truly luckily to have. Gifts do not equal love. I want to stress that I’m not a total capitalist, but I do have one gift that stands out above all the rest that I can’t help mentioning.

Awesome Pen

This pen.
This isn’t just any pen. In fact it’s THREE pens in one. Not just blue or black, but 3 different colors! It’s an awesome translucent neon orange that houses THREE PENS and A HIGHLIGHTER. Now, the manufacturer could have stopped there, but they made it COCONUT scented. It’s like writing while sitting on a beach enjoying a… coconut.

To make it even better it has my familial designation in bold type across it’s side. Like the name of a sailing vessel it boldy claims it’s unique name. UNCLE. This is not a normal pen. It is a pen for UNCLES.

I was given this AWESOME PEN by my neice, Audrey. The story goes that she was good in school and as a reward was able to ‘purchase’ a gift for a family member. Not only am I lucky to have my very own AWESOME ORANGE 3 COLOR UNCLE PEN WITH A COCONUT SCENTED HIGHLIGHTER, but I was chosen to be the recipient of her gift.

Thank you Audrey. I love you and can not express how much I love this pen.

Dearly Departed

This evening my Uncle, Gregory Lee Koerner passed away.  He went peacefully in his sleep after 3 weeks of being unconscious following a heart-attack.  I am saddened by his abrupt departure but am glad that he has found peace.

The most difficult thing we face is dealing with a world with one less good human being in it.  Good luck wherever in the stream of existence you are, I await the day I will see you again and will continue to tell stories of your adventures to everyone I meet.

My uncle suffered a serious heart attack today. As of this entry he is unconscious in the hospital. The doctors do not know if he will awaken or if upon awaking if he will be normal. I can not believe this has happened and am in total shock. He means a lot to our family and is one of my heroes. Please get better Pooh Bear.
