It's twenty-two years ago today since my uncle passed away.
We're not there yet, but it's coming close to the point where I've lived half of my life without him being alive.
That's a surreal thought!
I often decide to wait until the day itself to write a few words about him each year. I am doing so today with one thing I had wanted to write earlier this year, but decided to leave it until today.
On this day in 2011, I wrote about a cool (some might call it weird!) thing I do where, if I win on bets, I'd put on some aftershave my uncle bought me a couple of Christmases before he died.
I explain more about it in the post from '11. However, over the years, the bottle has obviously been going down and down so I had to decide to only use it when a huge bit of fortune comes my way. Or if there's good news to celebrate.
Well - I was able to do so in January when my family had a bit of luck a few days into the new year.
I made sure to have a splash the following morning. He would have had a kick out of hearing the good news.
And, yes, it still smells okay even after all these years.
