   I chatted with someone from my home town today..they live in the same place now that my Uncle lived in when we were growing up. He was in the Navy for over 20 years....My Mom his sister died in 1991 and he was supposed to have died a few years after that. But after today I am not sure as told them my Uncles name and yes they have heard of him and have seen him and "he's really old" and my Uncle would be really old. Would my family have lied to me...of course they would. You don't know my family I was born into. So not I am hoping against hope that just maybe this is my Uncle..that I haven't seen or talked to in over 30 years. I want to be excited...want to be happy but still afraid to. Please keep your fingers (and toes) crossed for me. What a nice thing it would be.
