June 13, 2009

On June 13, 2009 was the last day I ever saw my brother, Eric, alive.
He stopped by for a minute. He told of a plan to go to a friend's barbecue. His visit to my house was just a few minutes.

I had actually spent much of the day before (June 12, 2009) with him. We went to my ankle doctor's with me and to the library. Weird, going to the library with my brother. I love books, but hadn't seen him read much.

I am so glad I have the memory of a day with Eric. My older brother although extremely popular was also introverted and reserved. He was a man of few words.

But I would give anything to hear a few of those words again.
