    Thank you for sharing something so personal and tragic with all of us. While I was reading, it was obvious that the memory of that event is still "right there" as though it just happened. When I saw Carmen's DOB (09-08-63) I noticed that her month and day are the reverse of mine... that was kind of cool.

    for Carmen

    Love, Scully

    Rayzor, So sorry to hear that you lost someone so special. Your poor mother, that had to be hard to bear. This time of year is hard for me too, 11 years ago this fall my only brother died. He was missing for a week and the whole time we knew something bad had befallen him, but we tried to keep up hope until he was found. He died in a freak car accident and his truck had been covered completely from sight by a tree so search parties drove right past it several times. A jogger saw the light shining from his truck one morning and found him. It was the time of year when the trees just started to change color. It was so hard on all of us, but my parents, it was the saddest thing to witness. It took them a long time to just enjoy things again, like they felt guilty if they laughed or had a good time. They still keep his ashes in his old bedroom. It keeps my mom holding on to the witness faith because she wants to see him again in the "new system". I always imagine him bringing his kids over to play with mine, teaching them all to fish (his favorite sport) and stuff like that. We just have to try and remember the good things about them and try to live our lives in a way that brings some honor to their memory. My brother was a very generous person so I try to be more generous and pay some kind of respect that way.

    Well that was a real tear-jerker of a read. You never really know what is in someones past, and I know from experience too how hard it is to lose a sibling I always wonder "what if"......

    Thanks for sharing.
