~~ My only regret is that I didn't get to know Buster better before his sacrifice for all of us! He is waiting for us on the other side with Jesus, and then we will get to thank him for what he fought and died for. ~~

I miss my Uncle.

I was very young when my Uncle Buster died. I don't remember as much as I wish I could but I remember when he gave me a ride in his car ... it was very noisy and I thought that was neat. I thought he was neat too. I am very proud of my Uncle Buster and I miss him.

I look forward to seeing him one day.
