My Dying Wish -

I want each of my nieces and nephews to realize that their uncle lived a full and fun life without the "need" for drugs and alcohol. I tried to have a lot of fun without both to set a good example for all these kids under 21. I want them to see my example and be there for their own children, nieces, nephews, etc... at all the family gatherings, i was the first to join in kickball, tennis, sledding (even though i am now 50!).

I want my wife to realize that i loved her unconditionally. I wanted her to focus on living life and not worry about a clean house, a dinner on the table, etc... Even though we couldn't afford it, i hired a cleaning lady and tried to go out for dinner as much as needed.

I want my parents and siblings to know I was there for them during the triumphs and hard times. I only missed 1 graduation out of 9 for the High School Graduations. I was the one cheering the loudest when each of their names were called. I was there for over a month with my mother as my father laid in pain and dying. I dont regret that for 1 minute.

I provided all the kids with a safe place to go on weekends when other kids were out drinking and driving... I had a basement full of kids eating pizza, drinking soda and playing skee ball, fuzball or slot machines and watching movies. I cant think of one time where we told kids we were busy and they had to go somewhere else....

I can't go to BestBuy or a fast food restaurant without some kid calling me Uncle Glen!!!

My dying wish is for my nieces and nephews to carry my love for life and family forward....

Commendable indeed and much for others to live up to, however, is it all catching up on you Glen? I notice that your 'My Mood' shows stressed.

Stressed at work. not at home.

In the grounds of the old school, at the railings near the top entrance on the ‘road’ side, if you stood at the right spot you could peer through the black, rusting fingers of wrought iron and gaze at the terrace where Manny lived…we all knew him of course, knew who he was and what he did. Those who were lucky might catch a glimpse of him…he didn’t know us…probably didn’t even realise we were there. Does he ever lie awake in the twilight and think about those metal sentinels with their flaking shards and what lay behind?… he must have seen them as he stepped over his threshold…must have wondered…

...the winner is Sir Boome
