So I signed back in earlier this year hoping for more time to spend on outdoor cooking and the forum, but sometimes things just are not in the cards. My uncle lost a fight to brain cancer the Monday after Easter, and my own father had a cancer scare of his own further into summer. He just made it home yesterday after his post surgery consultation and the good news is that the tumor and polyps that were removed were benign and there are no signs of them starting to regrow.
While several things got put on the back burner my mind does what it seems to always does, nonstop thinking. When visiting my uncle shortly before he passed the family made note that they dont usually barbeque all that much. The last time I got to see them was last year for memorial day when we had a cookout at his place up in the north of Wisconsin. The times I cherish most from my childhood were the times spent at either the cabin in the UP or at my grandparents in Michigan for hunting and fishing. It is when I got to see my uncle and cousins, most of the rest of the family, and it was usually gathered around the table. My grandfather loved food off the grill and is probably the reason I started learning how to barbeque.
The time we spend is important as well as the memories we make. I am thankful for the times spent gathered around a grill with family and friends. One of the last memories I will have of my uncle is him smiling standing over a grill flipping burgers for the meal. Ive done a little grilling this year, but a lot of thinking of family that have passed on.
Cherish the time you have.
