I probably will not be doing much blogging in the next week or two.
My brother passed away two days ago...
and I will be flying 1,200 miles to go to the funeral. It was pretty unexpectedly but not completely since he had been battling health problems in the last year or so. I will not go in to detail but basically he went into septic shot as a result of not taking his medication and eating very poorly. His organs simply shut down. He was 58
My brother treated my mom
very badly. Cursing at her and even threatening her. He had some demons in his mind that we believe he was born with. It was always a mystery how he treated a person who did everything for him.
As bad as I could not figure out
why he treated my Mom so poorly....well deep down he had a heart of gold. And had told me he was sorry multiple times that he treated her so badly.
I will leave off with this memory of him...
I was in a disc golf tournament in Georgia in mid June in sweltering heat. My brother wanted to go see me play . The tourney lasted a total of 6+ hours. My brother, bless his heart ,followed me around the course and cheered me on for EVERY freaking shot I took. No one ,not even my wife, would have done this. He had no sun screen and was bent on catching every shot I made. By the time I finished at 5pm in the afternoon my poor brother was red as a tomato from sun burn. I know he was in pain but he didn't show it. He was just proud that his little brother did so good at a pretty big tournament.
His Loyalty was unquestionable, and I will sorely miss him to say the least !
