HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BILL!

For those of you who don't know or didn't remember, today is/was Bill's birthday. He would have been 59.

The last year has been difficult for my family. My wife was unemployed for 9 months and I am currently jobless for nearly 10 months. I can't tell you how many times I wished I could pick up the phone and call Bill. The inability to do so has only made the bad times worse. I mention the rough year in order to pay the greatest tribute I can to my brother. I miss him so much and think of him daily.

For those of you who still check in from time to time, you can expect three or four posts before the anniversary of Bill's death. On that day I will begin posting a photo of Bill each day until there are no more photos to post. I hope as you see the photos you will have memories that you will post as comments.

As always, if you pray, please say a prayer for Bill today and focus on your happiest memory of him. Perhaps you could share that memory. I could sure use some happy.
