Life's not about winning or calling people trolls or being a generally hateful and drug addled dickhead=Charlie Sheen.
It's about being humble, gracious and kind to anyone you should encounter. That definitely described my Uncle Johnny. He was a simple man and boy did he love to talk. Having a conversation with my Uncle Johnny was like a bus ride in a heavy fog. It was slow going and sometimes you had no idea when the ride was going to end. But it did eventually end and you'd usually find yourself late for school or work. You'd have to shrug your shoulders and chuckle a little because that just was Uncle Johnny. What you saw is what you got with him. He was more than an open book, he was an open heart. Every time he talked to you, he let you in there without you even knowing it. I know it now and I'm sad I couldn't appreciate it while he was around.
Rest in Peace, Uncle Johnny.
