Brendan B. Shaw

Hey my brother. Happy Birthday. You would have been 37. I really miss you. Im writing this on a steamy, sleepless night here in Prague, where I live now with my family who will never know your smile or your great big heart. You set this path in motion - the one that led me here. Life is good. Mostly. Money and politics still corrupt, like you always knew. But there are good people out there. And beauty. I wish you could have shared this journey with all of us. It would have been richer. 37...

Brendan, my brother. I am in Barcelona for work, I have a huge pitch tomorrow and I wasn't expecting to have you in my head. But it makes sense. I came here 11 years ago, soon after your death, to get away. Thoughts of you came back to me when my boss said she's planning to visit the famous la sagrada familia cathedral - one of the first beautiful, spiritual havens where I went to feel closer to you and light candles for you and grandpa. I'm definitely going back there on Saturday. Last...

Oh B, I miss you so much! Some think I should be further along in my process... but I think I'm right where I should be! Missing you while trying to remember you... honor you- that's really all I can do! I WISH YOU WERE HERE!

Happy Birthday "B", miss you every day. Love always and forever. Mom

Hay Brendan, You are in our thoughts and prayers always.
Prayer of ST.Francis Of Assisi
LORD,
Make me an instrument of your PEACE.
Where there is hatred, let me sow LOVE.
Where there is injury,
PARDON.
Where there is doubt,
FAITH.
Where there is despair,
HOPE.
Where there is darkness,
LIGHT.
And where there is sadness,
JOY.

O DIVINE MASTER
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled, as to CONSOLE.
To be understood, as to...

Happy Birthday Brendan, We had a Guiness toast to you last night, hope you enjoyed it!
Love, me.
