Day 24: A picture of you with a family member




This is me and my Uncle Hugh. I can't really say much about how mental he really is because I think some of his parishioners read my blog. Oops too late ;-) I am very close to my Uncle Hugh and very much respect his thoughts and opinion. He is also great fun and is often at the centre of family gatherings and has worked hard to create a lively community within his three Parishes. I do worry he might become even more eccentric as he gets older and he likes to tell me that I will have to look after him at this stage. I have of course assured him there is no chance of this happening but that I will visit him in the nursing home on high days and holidays :-) We used to have that 'how much do you love me' conversation when me and Fran were young. It was the 'no, i love you more than the world' 'no, i love you more than the universe'. Frances Ann finally stunned Uncle Hugh into silence (the one and only time I believe) when she said 'well, I love you more than God does!' He knows I love him very much.
