As I close this small piece of my brother's life, I have laughed, cried and more importantly viewed his life through his glasses with my own interpretation of what he was feeling and I believe that I have a much better understanding of the principle of "judge not" because I can never really walk where he has walked. I appreciate this dear man for his moments of recognizing that he had offended and sorry for the action. I have tried to feel his loneliness only to know that we are all islands seeking to find someone to share a moment of beauty. I have found beauty in his love for activity, enjoyed his love for the beauty of the creation which is around us, his enjoyment for competing in the game of basketball, the beauty in his soul for seeking forgiveness, his tenderness toward his daughter, his parents, sister Argie and his extended family, thankful for his generous spirit, for the beauty of recognizing the power of right and wrong, for his keen awareness of the gift of friendship. I ask for forgiveness for not being there when on occasion he needed me. The Army was a difficult experience for him and he needed a cuddly teddy bear. He found several. C. L. learned many lessons in those two years.
Next blog will be RODEO TIME
