In this journey of life, our souls connect with many other people. Each of those people have their own struggles, their own laughters, their own fears, their own joys. When we connect with elders in our world, we often see them as who they are when our souls collide. My uncle, his story was a story of redemption. His story was a story of dedication, and love, and kindness, and humor, and humility, and smiles, and wisdom, and creativity, and more love and more redemption.
