As I woke up this morning...the image of my brother clenching his fist flashed before my eyes. And continued to do so all day. So, I said #^&! it...Let's open it up and see what becomes of it.
Then, I closed my eyes...tuned into the sound that rain makes when it hits the top of a car...and relived the first and only moment I've seen a tear run down the side of my father's face...trying to catch his mumbled words of 1,000 emotions all trying to escape at once...standing in the rain...and saluting his baby boy as the car drove off without him. That memory has been etched into my brain forever...
I love you, Baby Bear...
I love you, Poppadukes...
