In reply to Carolyn. Yes, Carolyn. I am so grateful to feel nothing but love for him today. I'm sure my own life could be a cautionary tale as well. Love you, Hon.

We all felt the repercussions of Steve’s choices through the years. I loved him and was disappointed by him
I do think we have learned things from him. Even if it’s about how NOT to behave.

I am so glad you have good memories of Steve to comfort you, and the comfort of our Father. You and I had similar age differences in our brothers; my oldest is 14 years older, and the next was 9 years older. My second brother died in 1996, and while we were not estranged, my life as a military spouse meant we were not together often. I remember him every year on the anniversary of his death and wonder how my life and the lives of my children would be different had he not left this world. i think he would have doted on my children much as your Steve did yours.

Looking forward to when we are both reunited with our brothers.

In reply to Nancy. You always give me something to think about Nancy. "If someone does one kindness in their life it might be enough to hold them in your heart." That is a comforting truth worth pondering. Thank you, friend. xoxo

I’m sorry to hear about your brother. No matter what Steve became there’s no doubt you loved him. Families can bring out the best and worst in people. The memory of the younger Steve you describe when he welcomed you home is worth holding onto. If someone only does one kindness in their life it might be enough to hold them in your heart. God bless you.

In reply to Ganeida. You really do understand, Ganeida. To think of Jesus healing all things brings such comfort. ALL things. xoxo

You know I understand this. One has to guard one’s heart enough to survive the emotional fallout. It is not an easy ride but Jesus will heal all things. Love you.

You have such a full heart, Julie. I know that you struggled and did your very best for many years to understand and forgive your brother, and I know what anguish he must have caused you, but you’re absolutely right about the need for self-preservation. You saved your energy for those people in your life who needed you daily. One day I hope you and Steve are reunited in a place where all hurt and anger are permanently gone – a beautiful new start with the Lord. Love you, Julie!
