Well, to start out, I don’t know Brandy, but Doni does, and so does Nicole, so that’s good enough for me. I follow both of their blogs and after reading what they had to say about Brandy and her Hot Awesome Dude, I decided to write my own little post.
My uncle passed away 2 years ago last week from Multiple Myeloma. He was diagnosed in 1988 and lived with and fought the disease for much of his life. He was a great man and a great uncle. He picked me up on the side of the road when I was driving G-Pa’s car and it broke down in the middle of the highway. He talked about computers and technology with my friends at my condo-warming party. He took his whole family to Mexico while fighting with illness and took care of his 90-something year old father. He provided me with a family in MN ever since I moved here from NC where my parents live. He invited me to his birthday parties and to come meet his grandkids (my cousin Missy’s cute kids) and to be a part in my MN family. He was a great father to his kids. So this post and my donation to MMRF is for my Uncle Kenny and for Brandy and her Hot Awesome Dude.
Please consider making a donation to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation today in honor of them! And if you’re not convinced, ask Nicole’s or Doniree’s opinion!

Nicky,
Thanks for writing about my Dad… I know how great of a man he was and I love that others know that as well. It has been very hard for him not to be here and to miss out on those Grandkids.
Love,
Missy
