Today would have been Uncle Ed's 59th birthday. He passed away unexpectedly on July 27th, 2008. In memory of him my cousin, Vanessa had a memorial church service for him this morning. He will always be remembered for being the caring, compassionate and loving husband, father, brother, uncle and friend that he was. He had such a zest for life and was such an inspiration to his many friends and family. Uncle Ed had a deep devotion and enduring love for his wife and daughters. I will all miss Uncle Ed's sense of humor. He was always the life of the family parties/dinners. They just won't be the same without him.
I was supposed to get a 7 mile tempo run in this morning or sometime today, but I would rather spend some quality time with my family. I have several relatives coming in from Houston today and my parents need some help preparing for Ike.

Oh, Steph, I'm so sorry for you and your families loss. Your Uncle sounds like a great man!
I'm so sorry about your uncle. Good call on not running. Some times there are more important things than our workouts.
I'm sorry to hear about your uncle. I bet it was good to have the memorial service for him.
Thanks for the advice on wetsuits!
Heck yeah...I need a happy hour after my week! Somewhere close to your hood?
