 Blog PostsFriends         | BlogIn loving memory of my brother DanIn the early hours of Thursday morning My brother Dan passed away.He had battled cancer for several years. He was at home with his Wife, two sons, his Mother and Myself. I sat by his side for several hours just talking with him. I believe he knew we were there with him until Wed eve around midnight. He was in so much pain he was on heavy doses of Morphine which left him unconscious. Around midnight he slipped further and we could tell he just wasnt with us. Finally around 5 am his body gave out and he passed quietly. It doesnt seem real as I left his house. His boots setting by the back door, his jacket hanging on the hook waiting for him. HIs dog setting by the door waiting for a walk. HIs favorite chair setting empty. I will miss him dearly. His personality was so strong it rubbed off on me. Alot of who I am is a result of him. I feel like a part of me has been stolen. He always shared with others his love for his wife and children. Once I heard a man say that meaning isnt what we take from an event , it is what we give to the event. So I choose to give his life and struggle the meaning of love for family and neighbors. I will tell the people in my life how much I love my family and make a point to help my neighbors. My brother shall then live on in my actions. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I Cant believe I Did That!!??Ok, first in my defense, I have had alot on mind. A lot of stress, very tired, not getting much sleep. So here i go this morn off to work in my black Car-hart zipped to the top because it is kinda cold and windy here in michigan this time of year. I get to work and take off my jacket to realize........... I am still wearing my PJs. Yes that is right, still in my pjs, just the tops. I was at least wearing jeans and work shoes. But there I stood in my blue pjs with the little red horses on them. Before anyone could see me I grabbed a pair of coveralls and slipped em on. whew, that was close. believe me when I tell ya that was NOT the most embarrassing thing I have ever done. not even close. Ya gotta be able to laugh at your self. At least i was comfy all day and when i got home i was half ready for bed. Holiday JERKS!!!!!What the hell is wrong with people these days?Do people really think christmas is a holiday just for them?? the last I checked on my calendar it is not an exclusive holiday. The rudeness, mean spirited, condescending, greedy attitude that comes out this time of year is horrible. People should hang their head in shame. Just today I received a three page list of gifts I am expected to buy for a couple of other people.. THree freakin pages???? three freakin pages???. they were not kidding. What the hell do people think, i am a macdonalds drive through?? just pull up and tell me what you want and I will get it for you????? I cannot even make my house payment and these a@#$$ holes are telling me I have to buy them all this sH** they want?? But when it comes time for a gathering or dinner guess who does not get invited???? Probably a good thing, i am very sure i would voice my opinion of them all. I guess i am just ranting at this point, but I will sum it all up with.... I HATE THE FU#@**ING HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
