You were my big brother as a child and I loved you and all of your beothers and sisiter. Sadly, as we grow and begin our adult lives, family members drifts apart. For whatever the reason, the truth is, we THINK of cousins and aunts and uncles, but we rarely pick up the phone. And then a time like this comes. I, for one, am sorry I didn't pick uo the phone and dial your number. Phillipians 1:3
