@dswigle, thank you for your beautiful thoughts. I'm SO very sorry to hear about your brother. I didn't know. And now I am even more impressed by and in awe of your beautiful heart, how much kindness and joy you spread, and how if you ever have a rough day you don't show it.
I will be thinking of you this Friday, and sending you love and strength. I hope your brother's service is beautiful and memorable, and that it helps you to feel peace and closure.
