Greatest Moment as an Uncle
So I live near my older sister Laurie and her husband and 2 sons. I remember the Oldest Son Micheal from before my mission, but he doesn't remember me at all. He is also notoriously slow to warm up to people(His younger brother Hyrum is another story). I've been going to their house on Sunday for Family dinner and Michael has been avoiding/ignoring the strange man who keeps coming to his house. Well this last Sunday it finally happened. I was sitting on the couch and I threw a pillow at little Michael, he looked at me and threw it back. Before you know it we're knocking down pictures and candlesticks as we frolicked in their living room. It was so fun. I doubt that he'll remember me this next Sunday. But for 1 hour I felt like his uncle again. I love being near enough to develop this relationship with at least 2 of my nephews.

Thats right-your greatest moment as an uncle was with my kid-And don't you forget it. Pretty much that translates into The Huish family is the greatest :) Don't worry I won't tell any of our siblings that you feel that way!
