The military career that took me away from North Carolina also separated me from my mother’s brother for over 35 years. I have not been a part of any of your lives, however, I have memories of spending the summers with grandma and papa, playing with Roy and Bobby, and just being kids. We didn’t have much but those were such happy days. My prayers to my cousins that I may never get to meet. God Bless You All.
