So sorry for your loss may you find peace and comfort in the words spoken at 2 Corinthians 1:3 & 4" Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we get from God.

This is a time for me to reflect on my life with my brother Mike.

My first memory of Mike is when we lived in Santa Ana, California, and I shared a bedroom with him and my other older brother, Chuck. Ah yes…the old bunkbeds.

Mike was fifteen years older than me and joined the Marines almost right after graduating from high school—I remember him in his high school cap and gown, and then in his khaki Marine uniform.

It’s funny what recollections come to mind from decades of etched memories you have of someone. I am thinking hard to remember the “big things.” But it’s the little things that I remember most, Mike in his baseball uniform, his blue eyes, his smile, and “spit shining” his black Marine boots, and ironing.

Yes. Ironing is one of those “little things” that reminds me of Mike. He taught me how to iron (believe it or not). I remember the afternoon he was ironing his khaki Marine cap when he was home on leave from the Marines. That cap had so much starch it felt like cardboard—that was the required style of the day. My fingers can still feel the texture, the perfect sharp creased edges, and tapping my index finger on the top of the cap—it felt like a drum skin. I was amazed at how a floppy cap could be transformed into this rigid structure. Mike taught me the entire process. He was a good teacher. That vivid found moment in time pops up almost daily with me when I am ironing my clothes for the upcoming work day. This “little thing” is a special “big thing” I will fondly remember always.

My heart feels sad, my mind is numb, time has passed and now feels compressed.

Mike was always really sweet with me. I loved him so much.

Janice, you did a great job with your Pops. Mike is at peace now and no longer struggling to breath. He and his son are now together in again with God.
