I feel SO Honored!

So ... I told you about my cousin passing away. She was my mom's oldest brother's daughter. My Uncle Art is close to 12 years older than my mom. They went to Ohio together for the funeral and to get a few things that April left for my Uncle. Well, they went, drove up Monday night and got back home Tuesday night. It seems that April's Mom wanted to be in control of everything and the Memorial Service did not take place as planned. Because the Funeral home was getting conflicting "orders" they didn't do anything until my Uncle paid for it. April is going to be cremated, which was the plan all along, however, there was no Memorial Service/viewing/nothing. Its rather sad to me, I would think that April's son would want to be able to say goodbye to his momma. Anyway, April's mom is going to have something when she moves to her new place in IL after she gets April's ashes back.

My Uncle asked my Mom about him changing his will/bennificery. He has this piece of property that he got from my grandparents "estate" He's the oldest of 7 kids, each of these kids have kids of their own (14 still living nieces and nephews and and about 16 great grandnieces and nephews.) Now, I've thought this often, but never said it outloud till today and its so unreal to me right now ... In fact, before my mom called me to tell me she was home, I said to myself, that out of all her brothers, while I love them all, Uncle Art has got to be my favorite because he's never judged me, and always talked to me as a person and not a kid when I've seen him. My mom called and told me that Uncle Art told my mom that April had been the bennificery on that piece of land and that he weighed the "have and have not's" of all of his nieces and nephews and I fell into the "have not" category and he wanted to put me as bennificery on that piece of land, to be mine if anything ever happened to him, providing he didn't sell it before hand. My Mom told him that it was his land and that he should do with it whatever he felt was best and that she was sure I'd be honored.

I know this property isn't exactly the same as it was when I was a kid and went camping out there with my grandparents, but just the thought of those old memories ... and the thought that my uncle would consider me ... I feel SO Honored!!
