Where does the time go?

So today is December 10th and I have no idea where the year has gone. I have just been living everyday as it comes and I wonder if time flies by as fast for other people.


I just visited my my family in Texas and attended the funeral of the man I considered my grandfather. He was actually my great Uncle but both of my grand fathers passed before I was born so, Mr Ernest Mayfield was it for me. I spent on summer there when I was six years old and never wanted to go back basically because of the way my aunt (his wife) treated my brother and me. My Uncle was my saviour that summer, he is the one that put me in my first official swim lessons which later led to my being a competitive swimmer. He was an avid gardener and I remember pulling lettuce and carrots from the garden for dinner. He was big on family and community and was a basketball coach and a Dad to many children and relatives.

Uncle Ernest you are missed greatly!
