Loss...

Being the youngest of 12 children has had its benefits - lots of teasing, several "mothers & fathers" when I was young, great big family reunions and christmases, scads of nieces & nephews, etc. - but it also has its down sides. There are 25 years between me an the oldest sibling. This age difference means that I will be losing my siblings as time goes by. This happened for the second time this weekend. My brother Donald passed away. He was 20 years older than me and was gone from the home by the time I was born. However, he lived in OKC for the majority of his adult life so I did get to know him very well. Of all my brothers (6 in all), he reminded me most of my Daddy. I will miss him, but I know the angels are rejoicing at his arrival. Don - Say hi to Momma & Daddy for me.
