Lou, Life intrudes on our passions. Yet our passions are the roots of our lives. They are inextricably intertwined. We are just constantly forced to recognize and organize the importance of one over the other. The order in which they must be organized is rarely our choice...

I want to sincerely thank you all for your kind thoughts and heartfelt concerns. This is a rough one for me. My brother Scott was two years my younger and we spent every day together as kids, going to school, heading out on our childhood adventures, sharing our dreams and secrets. Our interests were nearly identical and I will miss him dearly. Apart from my mother there is not another person living who I have known longer. I hope to get back into the swing of things here again in the not-too-distant future but right now my plate is just too full. Added to a busy work schedule, I and my youngest brother Wayne have been making numerous eight-hour round trips up to Scott's home to secure his personal belongings and to do an inventory of the estate. He left no will or instructions as to what to do with his many, many, many things so we are now entering into a long probate process. Suffice to say my days are very full. Thank God for Jane, my wife, who has volunteered to act as personal administrator of Scott's estate, taking on the lion's share of that task. She's a saint.
Thank you again to everyone for your support and kindness, it means more than you will ever know. Live life to the fullest my friends, it can end in the blink of an eye.
Lou

Your last sentence is so true Lou, and very pertinent advice. Stay safe and keep well!

My sincere thanks again to all of you for your kind posts and emails. I am "over the hump" and moving on, with so many wonderful memories of my brother that visit me every day. I shall miss him dearly but as has been told and retold by folks much better with words than I, those who have loved and been loved are never really gone. Take each day as the gift it truly is my friends and carry as many of the good memories with you as you possibly can.

Raine said it so well in his post here, but I would like to add that your friends, good memories and better times await you on the far side of that stream and you are so close you can reach out and grab our hands. You have been so missed.
So glad to see your post here!

Thanks Robert, and I agree completely and Raine was one of the folks I had at the forefront when I spoke of those being better with words. That imagery of the sun and warmth on the far bank --- pure poetry.

A belated welcome back, Lou. Everyone here missed your wise counsel and your rapier-like wit! Oh, and the Tullamore! Can't forget the Tullamore (and other assorted adult beverages).
I hope, at least in some sense, that reading some of the adventures of Carrick, Robert, Raine, Mayfair, and Fullofit (and many others), was a bit of comfort to you during this difficult time. If not, you have a lot of catching-up to do!
