My brother passed away just after 11 this morning. He was a Halloween baby, born with an old soul. More serious than many of us, but remember, he was the one that would choose MAD Magazine as his treat. :)
Jes and I could talk on the phone for hours. My mom always wondered what in the hell we found to talk about, but there are infinite topics in life, and he was always ready to explain how he felt about anything or any one. Music, movies, TV, NASCAR; he loved digging into what made each thing what it was. His background in media gave him contacts with people 'in the business.' I could always get the scoop on who was the biggest asshole in Hollywood, or who had incredible business acumen, or who never paid their bills, or who was amazingly shy and kind in real life.
I will miss you so much, my brother, but say hello to mom, dad, auntie, Hooper and Lobo. I'll see you again, eventually.
(((((Tequila))))) I'm so, so sorry to read about your brother's death. I can't take the sadness away, and I can't make anything about it better, but I can let you know that you've been heard, and I'm thinking about you and your brother from across The Pond. Take care.
ReplyDeleteOh Tequila, I am so sorry. Is this the one that had the heart attack you wrote about the other day. Geeze girl, I feel for you, he sounds just like my sis was, Chris would go mad at the phone bill as we talked on the phone for hours, me in AZ and her in Scotland.
ReplyDeleteI am so very, very sorry girlfriend, I know what you are going thru.
Peace to you and your family today

Becky and Fay, thank you both for your kindness. I think it's time to drag out the old photo books and laugh at all of us as kids. My brother was only 60, and sadly, he was the longest lived of my three brothers.
ReplyDeleteHAH, those phone bills were why my sister and I played MMORPG's together. Those were before the days of unlimited cell phone hours, but guess what? We never stopped our daily phone calls.
Love and hugs to you both!
hugs right back at ya sweetie.
