Call someone you haven't spoken to in a while and have been meaning to. Look in on your children as they sleep and cherish the moments in life that warm your heart. Sometimes the hardest thing to come to grips with is inside yourself.
Mattie, you will always be my big brother and I love you. This journey has had it's difficult times and I am sure there will be more to come before you depart this life. Please know that the past 5 years have been a real eye opener into the world of the delicate fabric that binds life.
Be well. I'll see you in the am.
