MEMORY -
One of the first things my Uncle taught me was that I was the boss! When I was a baby, he would get down with me on the floor and ask me "Who's da boss?" taking my little hands in his, he would bring my fist to my chest and say "I'm da boss!" He did this countless times, each time making me giggle. A sweet moment of joy I wish I could actually remember. Video is all I have to recall this playfulness between Uncle Pete and his baby girl.
APPLICATION -
Getting a tour of the Palace of Versailles was an amazing opportunity. The history, the art, the stories and scandal ..... all was so intriguing. As I waked through the gold brushed halls, I listened closely to the guided tour. As the guide began talking about the Louie XIV, I wondered about his failed roll as "The Boss" or "The King" as we known him. I thought to myself " How could someone be so rich in "stuff" and so poor in heart"
REFLECTION -
I may not have been royalty, but in Uncle Pete's eyes, I was the boss and plenty rich in love.
