  • My favorite uncle, my Mom's brother Leo, passed away this week. He was a character and always full of life and laughter (and some pretty good jokes). Because Michigan is still under quarantine, they aren't able to have a funeral so we can all properly say goodbye... so this morning, I'm remembering and lifting up one the brightest lights in our family tree...
    --------------
    Since my birthday, 4/25/20... I’m doing a daily FLOG (farm + vlog) here on CZcams. I’m doing my best to make something and share it… EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. (...or as often as I can with a working farm to run, tv shows to make and a sweet little six-year-old to raise).
    This is FLOG #25.

    Sorry to hear about the passing of your favorite uncle Leo. 🕯 RIP 🕯💎🌹 ~~ Port Huron! it's not too far away from my place. Go there every so often. The Blue Water Bridge across the St. Clair River links Port Huron, Michigan, and Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. A very beautiful area of Lake Huron.

    I use to spend a lot of time with my nephews and niece when they were children. I use to tell them each separately they were my favourite. They use to bantered among each other that they were my favourite , then one Christmas it came up and they all came to me and asked who was the real favourite? I said you all are my favourite. Lol. Thanks for sharing .

    Mr. Feek, I am sorry for the physical loss of your beloved Uncle Leo. Just in that little snippet I could tell he was a character! But, I know that he lives on because he is safely tucked in your heart. Memories of those special times together will bring you comfort, and make his earthly passing a bit easier. He will live on through stories, and tributes like this Flog. And, the best thing (yes, there can be a best thing even in sadness) is that in your Faith, you know where he is and who he is with and the times they are enjoying.... and, that one day.. IN GODS TIME.. you will see Uncle Leo and all of your precious loved ones gone before once again. Until that day may you smile broadly remembering his twinkling eye and antics. May God keep you wrapped in HIS Loving Arms. Condolences to you and all the family. Blessings to you all. *LK*

    "Favorite Uncle Leo"... Everyone should have one. Mine was favorite Uncle Leon (called "Bo", my Mom's big brother), held me up high in his mighty arms when I was four years old to witness my Dad's entire funeral in 1954. Buried him about twenty yards away from Dad two years later when I was six after his truck slid onto the train tracks when neither he nor the train could stop in bad weather, but his two sons, my cousins, thankfully survived.
    Rest In Peace Uncle Bo, Rory's Uncle Leo, and all our favorite relatives, the ones who really taught us the meaning of "family".

    I think we all have a uncle that stands out over the others to us. My Mother's brother was mine. I like a lot of the same things he did and he would always help me with things. He tought me how to play the guitar. He was one of the best guitar players I ever heard. I never have got no were near as good as him but that's not his fault. He was the last one to go on the side of the family and Daddy was the last on his side. Both was in their 90s when they passed away. Know how it is to miss someone that close to you.
    Stay safe and God bless.

Last name was Schoonover. My great grandmother was a Cotton. In Boston we have a pew in an old church with our family history on it. Wish I could see it one day. I my did when she was about 17. I love history. Thanks for sharing your flog.

    😢😢. Having a sad moment watching the tragedy that once again has hit our country. Thinking on the Watts riots and the beating of a black man by the cops on the streets of L. A. And of course of Vietnam protests I’d hope to never see again. Mentally exhausted I then said it should be Flog Day 👍👍👍👍. Like you I had a favorite uncle who always said I was his favorite too. He taught me to draw and sketch and to see the world and it’s simple beauty. Tragedy struck him and his life changed and had to move far away. His best friend then became my favorite uncle #2. Tho he was fighting a horrible disease and I would then visit him. When he tragically died too soon the last visit by favorite uncle #1 made to Calif. was so welcomed. Sketchbooks in hand and a big box it was the best week I longed remembered. When he passed he gifted me with THAT sketchbook and so much more than my heart could hold. Books and published stories and fading photos and so many letters written to his very lifelong friend.....uncle #2. After he’d died he kept writing once a week to that special friend but addressed it back to himself. Odd? And among his last writings there was a letter tho unfinished addressed to me. Just saying I WAS his favorite niece and person for real. Just like you all those treasured memories come flooding back whenever I see then open his treasured box. Mmmm good memories never end they live forevermore. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
