10/05/2005 ![]() ![]() ![]() This is something that, frankly, I have put off talking about... My brothers-well-that's part of the problem-what do you call it...demise ?...Passing...? I think there are "camps" of folks who are bothered by one phrase or another...certainly an Athiest wouldn't use the same phrases as a born-again Christian would they...? so is it just a matter of faith-or lack of-or disbelief in ? For those who have a rock-solid belief in God and Christ, passing must be a comforting thought...but I don't know how realistic it is... Alright, I've put it off a little longer, so now to my brothers' death. I had been in touch with my brother-or at least tried-except for the very end. I would say that I never really said goodbye to him...a sad thought, but true. I can blame the fact that it was hard to get in touch with him in the first place, but a big part of the truth is that I felt we had some unfinished business-some things that I felt needed to be said. I chose not to bring it up, and now he is gone and those things will never be said...So I will carry them around-the words, the feelings-until I can begin to forgive-is this a start ? Well, I'm talking about it...that's a start, right ? Now, Doug loved everything Elvis, and over the years collected quite a bit of memorabilia to that effect. ( this may create problems in his passing). Sad to say, he couldn't be buried near Elvis, but he is right across the way from Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, and you can hear the tinkling of a small stream (fountain) running nearby....I think, all in all, he'd approve... posted by David | 10/05/2005 09:54:00 AM
