A Night To Remember

Another Night My Mind Can't Focus On Anything Other Than My Sister Brenda.
The Photo Above Was Taken Sometime Between 1973-1975. Tuck And I Are Not Pictured Because We Were In Uncle Sam's Canoe Club. Brenda Is In The First Row Sitting On The Left. The Boy In The Middle Was My Brother Loyal Who Was Killed In An Automobile Accident 2 Years Ago.
If Only Time Could Stand Still. If It Could, Life Would Not Be As It Is. That's Why Fate Is What Determines Life. Everything Happens For A Reason. We May Not Understand It At Times, But Something Or Someone Will Be Affected.
At The Time Of This Writing Brenda Is Near Death. This Transition Is Heartbreaking. Not Only Is She Too Young To Die, We Lose A Person Who Was So Loving As Well As Outspoken. Janis Joplin And The Grateful Dead Was Her Music Of Choice. I Can Remember I Had Found A Janis Joplin Record Album At A Rummage Sale. It Really Felt Good To See Her Face When I Handed It To Her.
I Will Miss My Sister Brenda. She Has Been A Part Of My Life For More Than 40 Years.
If You Never Had The Opportunity To Know Her, You Lost Out.
I Will Never Forget How She Comforted Me In The Darkest Moments Of My Life.
At That Time When There Seemed No Valid Reason For My Life To Continue, She Reassured Me That Life Has Good Things To Offer Me If I Was Willing To Accept Life As It Is. We Cried Together And Reaffirmed Our Love For Each Other. Sibling Love Is Near The Unconditional Love A Parent Has For Their Child. We May Fight Or Argue With One Another But The Moment Someone Else Does, We Stand United And Show Our Support No Matter What.
My Heart Is Broken. Brenda Will Soon Become A Memory. This Tragic Event Is Just Another Reminder That We Should Live Our Lives To The Fullest. Reminding Those We Love How Important They Are To Us. Enjoy Each Other And Treat Each Day Like It Is Our Last. You Never Know, It Could Be.
