Gardening days
When I was a little boy uncle Peter was always gardening at my parents house. He would be digging and weeding and sifting through the garden and I would try to help but I was almost always in his way. However, when I asked what needed to be done he would just say, "water please" as he was always sweating from working so hard. One day I worked beside him, not nearly as hard and I went to the water tap without him seeing me and splashed water all over my face and hair so I too would look just like him... with hair. He looked over at me and said,"water please" so I replied, " how about you get the water this time since I'm working just as hard as you. Can you not see all this sweat?" He reached over and touched my face, and with a stern look he said, sweat is warm.... I'd like ice with my water." Those are the days I will miss most.
