It's hard to believe he's really gone even though he was sick. He was the oldest and more like a father since he had kids older than me. When I was a teen, I told him I wanted to play the piano. I came home from school one day and there it was. The most beautiful used black baby grand taking up half the living room. I never learned to play it well and I'm not sure who loved that piano more - him or me. Then he bought himself a fiddle which he finally traded for an acoustic guitar when the family threatened mutiny. smile He was quite a character.

I will miss him.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for me and my family.
