Okay, I have been doing a lot of thinking today. Mainly about my brother-in-law Brian and I started thinking about some funny things that always made me chuckle and thought that I should share them as that is the way that he was...he loved for people to be happy. He had an infectious laugh. You could not listen to him laugh and not bust out laughing yourself. But, I think my favoritest thing was how you could not have a discussion about farts without him loosing it and laughing uncontrolably.

Too Soon
Something shifts.
Life's earthquake.
The shock is surreal.
The knowledge unbearable.
Clasping hands.
Beating heart.
Struggling to understand.
Grasping to hold on.
Pleading for more time.
Bargaining and betting.
Remembering the moments
Thoughts of a future, never to be.
One last breath.
One last sigh.
Remember me.
Remember me.
I wrote this a few months ago in one of my many moments of thinking of you and Brian.
Sending you our prayers. We love you and will never forget all of the memories that we have of Brian...brother and uncle.

Take care Brian. You were too young to have to deal with that disease. This news blows.
