Scraps and scribbles from 1960 - 2015 |
Writing about my brother has always been hard. However, as I compile this book of writing that includes tributes to those who have crossed over, it remains bereft of a tribute for Joe. You see his legacy is here, on WDC, where he is known as Rasputin   . He and I both shared a love of Robert Frost's poems; we talked a lot about the roads not taken in both of our lives. Unbeknownst to me, the path he was on was short; but he lived life to the fullest. Frost's poem was a harbinger of things to come. Because our family tried very hard to keep my brother's spirits up while he was waiting for a transplant, we chose a variety of media to communicate with him and each other. Don't Give Up ▼ In 2014, he moved to Florida with his wife and was on the transplant list at the University of Miami hospital in Jacksonville, Florida. Here is a peek at the journey. Joe's journey was a long and difficult one, but somehow we never expected him to leave us. Even though I knew the severity of the illness facing him, I always thought medical miracles would keep him with us for a long time. His story is told through blogs and video links. Although he has only been gone a year, he left a hole in our hearts that we feel each and every day. |
