RANDALL J MANNING 1960-2012:GENTLEMAN AND A SCHOLAR

  So I still have not found out or understand with loseing someone this close, but i can say that a lot has been discovered for me.  Whether its knowledge, being better person, history, family, but one thing that keeps me so mind boggled is that u always feel like a person is there for u wether here or there and its not in just thoughts just sometimes u get that pat on the back and no one is there.  It is very crazy though that i feel like that i do truely have a gaurding angel now.  It definatly was not the way time or any how i wanted to have or feel one, but i have never felt so secure safe and determind in my life.  I feel that all of a sudden i do have a person on my shoulder and it is so crazy how i realized that there is no way u can ever say i love u to a person enough or spend enough time with them.....  Every second of life is so precious and not only people u love also people u may have just met or accidently bumped on the side of the street always a hi hows ur day going or smile goes long way.  Ive learned to never take for granted knowing someone.  My uncle was always there for everyone there was never a time u couldnt come with a problem, a reason to celebrate, hug,love and no question that he wouldnt have or if anything find a awnser to.  So today iI put some loraxquotes up and sice my lil daughter loves it ive watched memorized it all.  All of a suden though it came to me that my uncle was and is still but in a less visible form u never know though like the movie might come down in amazing fashion from the sky.  The crazy part is that the lorax from the movie is theprotecter of trees and my uncle was the protector of trees,people,plants,animals pretty mutch everything.  So ive thought that he is the true loraxbut at a much larger spectrum. I love u very much uncle rand always will look up to u and soory yall just started typing and i t kept going.  Have a wonderfull day afternoon night whatever time it is for u good night.

ME
" As long as i live
I shall always be myself-
and no other just me
Like a tree
like a willow or elder
an aspen, a thorn
or cypress forlorn
A primrose, a pink or
violet
sunned by the sun and with
dewdrops wet,
always just me.
