Muddled Through This Week
Well friends, this has been a bitter sweet week for my family and myself. This past Sunday, my brother inlaw passed away from the virus. Having MD he just could not keep up the fight. And, he lost that fight early Sunday morning.
I said good bye to him the best way that I knew how too, that was by writing an article in his honor, and making that article all about one of his favorite whiskeys to drink these days Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey. I am not ashamed to say that while I was writing the articl, I started to well up a time or two. You know those memories that come rushing back and just take over your emotions.
Yesterday was his funeral, and some of those emotions found their way to the surface once again. The only solice in this day is the fact that my wife and I picked up a new car yesterday as well. And the vehicle was one that brother inlaw Chad would have wanted us to get.
Today his wife is having a rememberance gathering for him, so I'm pretty sure some of those emotions will once again find their way to the surface. All I can do is throw myself into work and keep myself busy. So today I decided to write another article, so that I have done at least two this week. Eventually the hole that hs been left in the family will slowly close, however Chad will never be forgotten.
I sincerely hope that you all have a blessed weekend. God bless you all my friends. Thank you for listening to me rant today.

Hi John,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother-in-law. I know you will honor his memory well.
It is OK to well up or to cry that just human. Writing the article was a beautiful gesture and then buying a car Chad would have wanted you and your wife was a beautiful way to further honor him.
Always know if you ever feel down and want to share a memory I will be there to listen via a PM.
My condolences to you and your family,
Michael
Thank you sir, however ,I am not one to pour my heart out. I have made my peace with the situation. I know that sounds harsh, but, my mother always said don't cry over a grave. With that being said, it is time for me to move forward.
