Tonight
Tonight I cannot seem to sleep. I hear the ocean roar, louder than ever before. It seems to take my mind back in time and over and under and home again. Tonight I lost a brother. To some he was my brother in law but to me he was a brother.
Our history together was so very interwoven that there is no part of my life that does not contain a segment of him. He brought great pain into my life and took it back twice fold. It seems for every wrong he made two rights, he loved my children like his own and took great pride in everything they did. I learned the meaning of forgiveness from him; and I learned the concept of; it is what it is; from him. While there was never a more human whirlwind to come through a persons life, there was also no more humble a man. He never wanted anything from this world except maybe for people to understand and give love to each other. It took him many years and lots of trials by fire to find his rhythm but through it all there was always that one constant. Somehow it made forgiveness come.
I think tonight I cannot sleep because I know he will not be there to greet me and make me feel warm and safe; wanted and cared for; to laugh and to irritate just for good measure and keep me on my toes. I think tonight I cannot sleep because tonight I lost a brother.
I love you Tim Rest in Peace
