Your brother, uncle, father took time to discipline me, doctor me when I was ill, walk me down the isle, give me away, take me back. When Mom passed on, we became friends. Just checking in calls for comfort. I was looking for him, calling him, waiting for him when I got the call. I am so glad that I was able to be with him for that last hug, to kiss him good-bye, hold his hand and rub his fuzzy head. To pray over him. My many thanks to a Dad who has done so much for me. My heart hurts, your hurt. May God be with you in your loss.
