I recently attended a family get together arranged by cousin Ken Gillis, Jr. His sister (Gaye Ann) gave me a few photos she thought I might like. Among them was a picture of my mother, my 2 brothers and me...the very picture I regretted not having in a previous posting. We were not young children, but adults. This picture is a treasure, and I'm so glad to have this site to share it. My brother David was loved by many and was loved by me. I miss him every day. No one else in my life has ever created the intensity and variety of emotion...positive and negative. I worried about him and prayed that he would be able to tame the addiction monster that robbed his peace of mind and disrupted his life in so many ways. In spite of it, he had a wonderful spirit and really knew how to connect with people...he genuinely cared. He loved children, animals, and had a big heart for the underdog. He's not here in body, but his spirit is with me and always will be. To know him was to love him.
