Put More Water in the Soup, there's better days a comin'


My dad once told me this, I wasn't quite sure what it meant - it was actually about preservering and keeping a positive attitude about the future. This expression came to my mind this morning, because yesterday my uncle Mike passed away, he was 57,wow that's young, he used to snort when he got laughing too hard (Just like my dad), he loved to laugh, and he loved to ski, but most of all, he Loved his daughter Margaret. I still am having a hard time beleiving it - We aren't too clear on the circumstances, just that he was trying to get a snowmobile off his truck so he could put down some cross country ski tracks in Plaster Rock, someone found him and called the ambulance, he passed away in the hospital. It's hard to see the better days on days like these, but faith plays a big part and so does family. Big thanks to all of you that have called and offered support - So I'll put some more water in the soup and wait...
