Eddie Jr.

Today, July 22nd, marks 22 years since my oldest brother, Eddie, lost a brief but excruciating battle with cancer. I really, really miss him. And of course, my brother John is always on my mind. The death of a loved one is such a deeply profound loss.

I didn't get to sleep until 3:30 last night then dreamed of Eddie. He had cancer in my dream but he was functioning and pretty much himself. I dream of my folks often. In some way it's comforting, but in another it's sad.

Miss him too. :( Miss all of them.

Yesterday was my grandpa's b-day and the 5th was the 24th anniversary of his death. Adam's grandma passing away last week...it certainly has been a weird summer.
