# Xmas 2017 & remembering the toughest bear…. - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/xmas-2017-remembering-the-toughest-bear/ - Published: 2017-12-21T05:21:19-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout **Our annual Christmas family reunion this year was bittersweet**, as my Uncle and my Dad’s only brother passed away a few days before Thanksgiving. ⌊IMG_2373⌉**Cancer had eaten away** at this wonderful man until his body just up and quit. We had a celebration of life as he didn’t want a funeral, something that I truly respect and admire. It’s the same way I want to go, no tears or expensive funeral costs, only a celebration of good memories before dumping my ashes off a mountain cliff. We also had an early Christmas for my nieces and nephew so they could open the presents I got them, as I won’t be around on Christmas day. ⌊IMG_2908⌉**The best gift of all though** was the time I got with them, my crazy family, people that I love with all my heart. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/xmas-2017-remembering-the-toughest-bear/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Xmas%202017%20%26%20remembering%20the%20toughest%20bear....&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fxmas-2017-remembering-the-toughest-bear%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/xmas-2017-remembering-the-toughest-bear/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/xmas-2017-remembering-the-toughest-bear/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/xmas-2017-remembering-the-toughest-bear/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/xmas-2017-remembering-the-toughest-bear/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading… ## Comments ### By: thepsychogrok - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/xmas-2017-remembering-the-toughest-bear/#comment-486 - Published: 2017-12-21T05:51:21-07:00 My deep condolences for your loss.
