Bro, found some pictures of you and Pat dipping your legs into Pacific when you came out several years ago to show her the ocean. Unsure if you remembered from when we were in Okinawa with mom and dad nor unsure if we went to ocean. But monsoon brought part of ocean to us in military housing!! I think we were both on couch in living room as dad kicked patio doors open and tried to sweep out the foot of water in the house while dog was drinking it!! Miss you so much!!

Brother, wish I could say I miss you every day, but now I have my own closer death I am dealing with, my late wife LeAnna. She sadly developed an aggressive form of cancer that took her within of week of hospitalization. Almost 8 months later and I am still stunned and while trying to move on, it is hard also. But not as bad as Logan, lost at 18. Also surprised that Mom out lasted both deaths but she joined you 3 years ago now, but Dad still here kicking at 96. How did you miss that gene...

Dear brother, sorry I've let you 'get away' over the last few years. Perhaps we can try to do better in the next life.
