I, the childless bachelor uncle, could not imagine my life without them all.<BR/><BR/>2) I remember Michael having an extremely articulate vocabulary when he was a wee lad. It used to freak me out.<BR/><BR/>3) I remember once playing a punk rock CD for Michael and Katie and how much Michael loved it; he was dancing around Mom's living room playing air guitar like a madman. <BR/><BR/>4) Michael helped me plan and execute my one and only birthday party, which was my 30th. He, Amber, Katie and I went to the party store and bought hats, noisemakers, and other silly party favors. Remember when we were kids, we were all supposed to get one birthday party where we could invite all our friends and make it a big deal. Well, I never had one, and on my 30th I FINALLY got to have it with my nieces and nephews. The photo Burke took of that pary, where all the kids sat around the table with me in our party hats, is so very precious to me.<BR/><BR/>5) He always kicked my butt at the computer game called "Duke Nukem." Michael was a god at that game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851418.post-1118243546694594502005-06-08T10:12:00.000-05:002005-06-08T10:12:00.000-05:00You KNOW how I feel about your son!
