Oh Uncle Bradley, I can’t even tell you how bad it hurts my heart that you left this world less than 12 hours before Michael and I would be seeing you. I was ready to hear your stories of all of the things that were happening with the nurses and people walking by your room. I’m sure they were doozies. I cannot express what a colorful addition you were in our lives, especially mine. After hearing stories from you and Michael, I will never look at a Nun or a Rabbit without a smile and thinking of you and if I see them both together, well, I will probably be passed out or dead from laughing. You taught me to see things differently by being the unique individual you were and I’m grateful for that. I loved how your heart was big for those who you loved. I also loved how when you received a gift that you really liked, your heart would express it through your eyes with a twinkle. I love that when you found something that a person liked you made sure you got at least 10 of that item, for them, every Christmas. I will miss your cheek to cheek kisses, I will miss the way you said oh child and I will miss how genuinely grateful you were when someone would do something nice for you, because in today’s world, it’s a rare quality. I am very thankful for all those times, in the very beginning, when I first came into the family, that Gail rarely answered her phone for any of us. At the time none of us liked it. Now though, thinking back, You would call me searching for her, and for that, I will forever cherish those long conversations that allowed us to get to know one another. You will greatly be missed by all of us and I truly hope and pray that you knew how special you were to us. Michael and I are grateful that we had you in our lives! Until we see you again! ❤️
