Tugon,

Ouch!

Yesterday belongs to yesterday. Yes, not all good, but some magnificent and an inspiration.

Tomorrow belongs to tomorrow, which is not to say that we should not watch out..

Take care, Our Treasured Friend!

Today, I went to Memorial Day, and heard and saw the things that brought back a yesterday or two. Not all times past are easy, and we move on, as the world will not stop for us. We try to make a better tomorrow with what we have seen and what we believe.

Faith gives hope.

Thank you for your posts and support. Yes I need to once again shed the past from my thinking. I am fighting it back to memories and not thoughts of daily living. PTSD has a way of making you remember during you waking hours and disturbing your dreams. I thought I was raped a lot in real life but so many more times in my dreams. I remember standing on the Ponts des Arts while watching the flow of the Seine river and the wind blowing much of my troubles away. Maybe I need to take myself to Paris again. Oh but I could not be away from Corky that long.

August 7th is the date for my brother's funeral. He has not passed away yet but we are great preplanners. He is in the last days of his life. I am pleased that the meds are controlling the pain from his cancer.

He is my younger brother by six years. He always kept his weight down and exercised. He has had a very successful life both personally and in business. I always thought he would be alive to see his grandchildren and great grandchildren. I guess always doing what is right does not promise you anything. His fat, diabetic, wine guzzling brother lives on without problems.

He is still married to and in love with his wife. They met on a blind date, married and have had a good life. He has two sons that are incredible and there is incredible love between father and sons. A very close and loving family.

As I have mentioned he and I were never close but things were getting better as we aged and matured. He was not as traumatized over having a gay brother. I knew that was tough for him for many of years. I am glad he came to peace with what I am. Sadly the years he spent struggling kept us apart. He would often lecture me to not talk about gay sex things which of course I would never do but he felt I needed frequent reminders.

I certainly never wanted this to happen to him. Last time we talked I told him if there were anyway I could take this burden from him I would. I even prayed which I had not done in a very long time. Sometimes you like to hedge your bets. Of course no answers as there never was any relief or help from prayer. So please do not say to me that I will pray for you or my brother.

I am sorry about your brother. I have lost many friends and family and yet I never know what to say on these sad occasions. --FLO--

Happy Birthday Tugon, I wish I was 60 again. OMG Uncle Flo is only 70, I thought he was closer to 90 On September 4 I turn 70.

My brother passed away at 6:30 AM.

So sorry to hear. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

My condolences. Never easy to lose a family member.

My dear Tugon,

Also my condolences. It is like Kristoff says. "Never easy to lose a family member." I don't have many words to speak now, they may come later.

Peter

My condolences on your loss,
