Lord what are you doing now?
I am having trouble writing this blog because I feel at a total loss for words. It still doesn't feel real just yet that my brother is gone -- passed away suddenly on 2/16/2012 of a heart attack at age 51. I am in WA now, after a quick packing and flight over. My sister and I and our ever-patient, ever-supportive husbands are at our sides, removing personal belongings from his house, making arrangement for the cat, the memorial, etc.
Three weeks ago we were dealing with moving, electrical and plumbing problems at the villa, and hosting my daughter for a visit to Italy. That seemed like the all-consuming issues of the day, and all of a sudden, our world turns upside down and all that stuff seems insignificant.
Lord, with all we have been through with my brother, I don't understand why you took him now? He missed seeing and understanding how many people love him, how important he was to so many people, what a huge contribution he made to the music and fine arts community in Bremerton and Silverdale, and how many young people he mentored that just totally admire his talent and skill, and most importantly, he missed the key thing which was none of those people cared whether he was "successful" at the coffee shop business or not; that doesn't matter to any of his friends and family, only to him was it so important to be "successful".
