Merry Christmas everyone!!      The most beautiful things often grow and stem from times of hurt and struggle. It is a paradox that proves to be true time and time again in my life and in the life of one of my favorite people in the world.      My Uncle Sim is one of those people who, once you meet him, you won't soon forget. At our family gatherings he is the life of the party and his summertime visits are always so memorable.
