A Death in the Family...
I probably will not be doing much blogging in the next week or two.

### My brother passed away two days ago... 
and I will be flying 1,200 miles to go to the funeral. It was pretty unexpectedly but not completely since he had been battling health problems in the last year or so. I will not go in to detail but basically he went into septic shot as a result of not taking his medication and eating very poorly. His organs simply shut down. He was 58

### My brother treated my mom
very badly. Cursing at her and even threatening her. He had some demons in his mind that we believe he was born with. It was always a mystery how he treated a person who did everything for him.

### As bad as I could not figure out
why he treated my Mom so poorly....well deep down he had a heart of gold. And had told me he was sorry multiple times that he treated her so badly.

### I will leave off with this memory of him...
I was in a disc golf tournament in Georgia in mid June in sweltering heat. My brother wanted to go see me play . The tourney lasted a total of 6+ hours. My brother, bless his heart ,followed me around the course and cheered me on for EVERY freaking  shot I took. No one ,not even my wife, would have done this.  He had no sun screen and was bent on catching every shot I made. By the time I finished at 5pm in the afternoon my poor brother was red as a tomato from sun burn. I know he was in pain but he didn't show it. He was just proud that his little brother did so good at a pretty big tournament.

His Loyalty was unquestionable, and I will sorely miss him to say the least !
