BINGO.

 
It is a full house,
In attendance.
If blood is thick,
Bingo makes our bond thicker!
The family get-togethers
 Were never complete
Without this game.
Unlimited food
Unrestricted laughter
Never ending conversations
"Two fat ladies"
"One little duck"
"Two hockey sticks"
"All by itself"....
My uncle, the official "Caller"
Cancer clawed
He passed on....
The baton
Will we ever play again?

  3. Oh, this takes me back to my childhood . . . wish I had a nickel for every game of Bingo we played together - such fond memories!
    And, so sorry for the loss of your uncle, Janu.
    Blessings!

  7. It's amazing how we associate something with someone we love. I do love the way you've written this, Janu. I do believe the baton will pass....

  8. Hope you feel better with each day. No one can fill the loss of the lost loved ones. I understand how we associate certain things with certain people. Life has to move on..so as BINGO..
