Life will be different

On June 25th about 12:30 a.m. my life has been altered forever.  My youngest brother died from a massive heart attack at the age of 39 years old.  We all knew it would happen because he was not watching his health very well.  But knowing it will happen and actually being prepared for the inevitable are two totally different things.  When we got the call I was numb, you really don't expect to outlive your youngest brother but it has happened and now we move forward.  I continue with my exercise routine and encourage everyone I can to take care of themselves.  I know my baby brother is in a far better place and he now is not shackled to the body he was in.  I told his daughters that he is in heaven tormenting our mom and grandma now.  I think the two of them can definately keep that brat in line.  I love all my brothers but I don't necessarily love what they do sometimes.  My brother will definately be missed by all, RIP Shawn.
