I just received the most beautiful minature red (my fav color) roses in a metal planter box. They look fab in my garden window. Every time I see them I think of my web group and how special you are. You are all so wonderful to think of me and I appreciate your love and friendship. You are very dear to me and I love each and every one of you.
I went back to work on Thursday and most everyone avoided me like I had a contagious disease. I am trying not to let it get to me I know they just don't know what to say.
I went to pick up my brothers belongings on Wednesday. It was sad to see everything he owned in a small paper sack. They had to throw a lot of his things away. My brother had my phone number written down on a piece of paper in his wallet. I think maybe after his camping trip he was going to call me for help to get back to Utah. We will never know the cause of death. But, I believe in my heart he died of natural causes. Nothing else makes sense but that. He would have never left his dog.
His friends had a few photos of him just before he left and he looks so happy. His eyes are so blue, bright and sparkly. He had a surrogate family for the 6 months he lived in OR and they adored him. He touched so many lives. What a comfort that is for us.
I know he is in a better place, his mind is clear, he is free of his addictions and he is finally at peace. He was very sensitive, imaginative, creative, and so funny. He could make us laugh until our sides hurt. I will miss him always.
Thanks again for the beautiful plant, your thoughts and prayers have meant the world to me.
Much love,
Lori
