I have learned so much these past two years since my brother was really in pain and trying his best to try to maintain a front for my mother and father and still attempt to do what he needed to live. I don’t send the emails to as many as I did only to those I consider GENUINE friends.

I've learned:

If you become sick or fight demons, people will forget the good you have done, and remember only the things that they feel are incorrect and wrong and turn their back on you even if you have helped them prior.

People will make judgments about who you are and what you have done without facts (I wonder are these the same small town people that can site verses from the Bible... how about: he who is without sin cast the first stone?) Maybe there are a lot more “perfect” people than I believed.

The world is full of hypocrites that put in appearances to clear their conscious of the ugly things they say to save face with those they have successfully bamboozled with their faux friendliness and banter with smiles and laughs/giggles.

No one knows what battles anyone on this earth face day-to-day, but they will find whatever fault they can.

And I've also learned:

That when you love someone, really love them from deep within your soul, whatever little faults you feel they possess are really those that you must deal with when you meet your Maker – who are you to point an accusing finger?

I have learned the empty feeling you have when you think of that person that has left and no matter what nice, wonderful memory comes to mind, that emptiness sometimes finds you in the most mundane times.

I have learned that the memory of someone’s voice, smile, laughter remain in your heart forever.

I've learned that we are all unique and special people to someone in this world and that our family and friends know this for sure.

I've learned that the only reason people talk and hate others is because deep down, they wish they were just like that person... they want to be that person.

I've learned that every night SOMEONE thinks about you before going to sleep.

I've learned that there are messages that are brought to you in dreams, you just need to learn what those dreams mean.

And things I believe:

Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.

Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

I have attached a link to some pictures I recently took with my daughter-in-law. Holly has been a great d-i-l always, but this last week, she went above and beyond. She took me to this lookout in Mocanaqua called Council Cup because she knows that I go to places like this when my soul is hurting.. and now, I have 2 places where I can go to talk with my brothers.

This Monday, my baby brother's ashes will be interred with my other younger brother who left this world 30 years ago. Both brothers will be united.

ONLY IF you are interested in seeing the pics, here is the album link to photobucket.
