He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

November 5, 2008



You've heard me talk about my older sister Verna, who keeps me in line when I get too loud and start playing too much Rock and Roll. Well, I had an older brother too, and although he was not involved in my life as much as Verna, I knew he was there. Yesterday I saw him for the last time in this stage of life, just hours before he chose to pass. I did get to tell him I love him, I did want to tell him to say hello to Mom ... but I was afraid. But somehow I think he knew what I was thinking...


Later on in the afternoon when my niece came home from work, she asked her Dad how was his day.... she told me he grabbed her hand and took his final breath....


Good bye Eddie, "Tell Mom I said hello..."
