My uncle on my mother's side is going in for surgery today. They're going to try and fix a brain aneurysm they discovered over a month ago. Both my grandfather and my great-aunt died of aneurysms, so we're all torn between happiness that the doctors caught it in time and anxious as to how the surgery will go.

I don't get to see Uncle Ricky very often-- he lives in another state and can only make it every other Christmas-- but he's a great guy, with a wife, a daughter, and three sons. My cousin Courtney is graduating college and getting married in June. The other three are in high school and middle school. I really want to see Uncle Ricky get to walk Courtney down the aisle and be at his sons' graduations.

So-- if you're one to pray, please include my uncle in your prayers. If you're not religious, feel free to just think good thoughts for him.
