If I could bring one person back to life, it would be my uncle, Arthur(Art) Wuest. He was one of the nices men I ever knew. He married my dad's older sister after she divorced her first husband with whome she had a son and a daughter. When she married my uncle Art, her children were very young and my uncle adopted them as his own.
My uncle was funny, smart, and outgoing. He was in his 70's and was always up to doing anything. If my uncle Art were still alive today I would want him to be here on Saipan making me laugh by telling me his funny jokes and stories, and going out for walks with me on the beach side.
We would go swimming in our swimming pool with my whole family and have nice family dinners with him talking and telling his old stories and jokes along with my dad. I miss seeing his funny smile. I also wish he were alive to be with my aunt who now lives all alone at the age of 80.
I can see in my mind him sitting on the beach chair beside the swimming pool with my aunt right next to him and me swimming in the pool beside them.
I usually don'l like hearing old stories, but if um uncle were alive, I would be listening to him and my dad telling old stories to each other and to everyone at the table. We wouuld go out to dinner and I would show him all my favorite things to eat. I would show him and my aunt how I play tennis, volleyball, and dance polynesian dances. I can picture him smiling at me from the sidelines, and when I would finish I would run up to him and listen to him tell while he tells my what he thought.
The things I miss most about him are his funny smile and his outgoingness. After he passed, I say a star up in the sky right above my house. I noticed it would appear every night right in the same spot. I knew from then on it was my uncle watching over me. I know he is gone, but really he is still here-in my heart.
