Brother Johnny's birthday today - he's been gone almost ten years now. The one and only blessing of losing a loved one much too soon is they never grow old. Seems your selective memory remembers only the good times and glosses over the rest. I was recovering from my heart attack while Johnny was dying. I wasn't able to drive, as per doctor's orders, so Surly was kind enough to take me down to see John and I was able to say goodbye just before he passed. Small comfort to me, hopefully of some comfort to John.
I can't bring him back but I'll never forget him. "Johnny I hardly knew ye."
