A Sobering Week

Posted Jun 30 2009 5:54pm
This has been one of the most difficult weeks in all my life. My brother dying is beyond comprehension. The tragic way in which it happened is hard to understand. I am so sad.

Brian was my friend, my dear sweet friend. He was the kindest man I know who always avoided contention and wanted everyone to be happy. He wouldn't hurt a soul verbally or physically. He spoke with open arms asking for patient understanding and would approach with love and concern. He was a genius, an artist, a brilliant mind, and one of the most gifted young scientists of his generation.

I will never be the same. And yet, somehow through all of this nightmare, I am at peace. God is with me. The experiences of my life continue to strengthen me and given me comfort. I have the greatest family and friends in the world. Everyone should feel this much love.

Adversity is a hard thing to bare but there is hope of a brighter day and of times to reflect on the many wonderful blessings of life.

If you'll please permit me, I wanted to share my brother's obituary beautifully written by my stoic father.
