So sorry this Tombstone Tuesday hit so close to home. Thoughts are with you.

My sympathy goes out to you for the loss of a brother, way to early --- and blessings for that heartfelt connection --- blessings, indeed, for sharing that connection with us.

What a sweet-looking young man he was . . . nice tribute you put together . . . {hugs} on this bitter-sweet day . . . V. . . .

Thank you all for your kinds words and support. This really is a bittersweet story that I think I will be ready to share in more detail in a post sometime, but I grew up never having met my father, when I did, I found out that I had two half brothers!

Right away I met John...we are very close to this day. John and his wife, Myhunghee will be visiting me in March and I am going to be an aunt in August! The photo in the center of the collage, left to right is Michael, John and my father.

Michael and I became very close over the phone and he was actually planning on flying out to visit John and I (John came out and stayed here).

Michael never made it...he was killed in a very bad car accident. Five years later...my father passed away, I never had the opportunity to meet him either.

How I wished I could have met them both, but at least I was blessed to have connected with them, even if over the phone, through letters and pictures! I am grateful for that.

Hey Girl,

Wanted to send you an Emma a little ray of Sunshine from TEXAS since you can't come and visit. Hope you enjoy! Stop over at Barbwire & Roses to pick it up.

Blessings upon you for your loss and thank you for your kind comment about the loss of my mom too. Knowing that you are without your mom too...I know it's hard. We will get through it all...smiles.
