My Repaired Brain: My Uncle Carl

My Repaired Brain: My Uncle Carl

My Uncle Carl

There are some people in life that just radiate positivity. One of those people for me is my Uncle Carl. Unfortunately for me, I don't see him very often but when I do then I am guaranteed affirmation about my brain. What is great about it is that he does it naturally. It comes from his heart. Here's the scenario....

When I see him at a family gathering he always meets you with a smile or a hug. He is always positive. My Uncle Carl has his good share of health problems, but never talks about them and acts like he is in tip top shape. :) The first thing out of his mouth is asking about how YOU are. He is always thinking of others.

What I love about my Uncle Carl is that every time I see him and when all others are embarking on only the regular salutations, he is keeping life real. He says, "You know, Emy, every time I see you and think of your brain surgery and recovery, I can't help but thank God. You are an amazing miracle!"

That's my Uncle Carl. I love him tons! Whenever I get discouraged about something with my brain health, I think of him. We all need cheerleaders. We all are called to be a cheerleader to someone else. What kind of cheerleader am I being to the people in my life? What about you?
