Annette,
My mom reminded me of Uncle Sony’s birthday a few days ago, I immediately laughed at fond memories… I also had a recall of a vivid twinge of fear, because even though Uncle Sonny was teasing or playfully tormenting someone 100% of his waking hours, he could easily scare me and Kimball to death until we realized he was being funny… sometimes it took us a long time to figure it was funny… all fond memories. Gretchen also remembers when Uncle Sonny gave her a congratulatory kiss after our wedding, then he congratulated her with kisses a few more times at the wedding reception… we have many of those pictures and they are priceless.
