Today, home is where the heart is..

They asked me to put my thoughts into a brief statement [for the words to be inscribed on his grave] and the first thing that came to mind was: "an anchor to many, an inspiration to all", and they loved it. That's all I can really say when it comes to putting my feelings to words 365 days & 1 hour later. We miss you Uncle Johnny, always have, always will; but like I said at your funeral, if I don't accomplish anything else in life, my biggest accomplishment will be the fact that I did everything to keep the family together, just like you told me to. Continue to watch over us & from time to time, shower us with your tears of love.
