To My Best Friend

Dear Uncle CC,

Thank you for pushing me around the kitchen in my Cozy Coupe. Can you believe they let us drive in the house?

Thank you for pushing me on the swing when no one else wanted to.
Thank you for teaching me what an excavator is. My Mom says most two-year-old kids don't know what an excavator is.

Thank you for the endless amount of toys you've given me in the past two years. I have more trucks, tractors, bulldozers and backhoes than a boy could ask for.

Thank you for going on family vacations with us. I will smile every time I see the pictures of us playing hide and seek in the condoooo!

Thank you for keeping a basket of toys for me at your house, and sharing your special John Deere toys with me.

Thank you for cooking your yummy ribs for us. I know I never wanted to eat, but the few bites I did have were always tasty!

Thank you for playing with me in Nana's playroom. I think I must have said "come on, CC, play with me" a million times.

Thank you for taking me on my first camping trip. 

Thank you for reading books with me.

Thank you for singing "baby steps" and "fruit salad" with me. 

Thank you for keeping my Dad company at family things. I'm sure you guys have shared a lot of laughs over the years!

Thank you for growing yummy vegetables in your garden.

Thank you for always promising to "check on chief" when you got home.

Thank you for loving my Aunt B with all your heart.

Thank you for showing me what it's like to have a best friend.

See ya again one day, CC! I will carry you in my heart forever.

Your Buddy,
Austin
