I Miss My Irish Twin


David's birthday is tomorrow. Mine is September 3. Every year in late summer we were the same age and we liked that. it was goofy and somehow special like the games of ringoleavio and his special trick of lying in the shadow of the gutter so close to the lamp post that was home no one ever thought to look for him there.
like the August peaches in the yard.
like the sound of all those boomer children singing "Car, car, c-a-r!" to warn each other: get out of the way or die.

Now I will grow older and he will not. I believe I miss my brother more than anyone else.

Love does not end with the death of the physical body. Love endures forever. Your brother's love for you is still there for you. You can feel it a noisy crowded room. You can sense it when you're all alone (even though you never are). Hold on to it and let his love help you through the difficult times. He was a good man, wouldn't he want it that way?

A friend.

good evening fellas. I'm really into shoes and I have been looking for the sake of that particular brand. The prices seeking the boots are approximately 170 pounds on every site. But completely I set this site selling them for the benefit of half price. I really like those [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]prada sneakers[/url]. I will absolutely order these. what can you tell me about these?
