TWENTY- FIVE YEARS AGO

Dedicated to my Oldest Brother Scott

September 3, 1955-June 16, 1990...

I remember saying one day I will be older than you...

Impossible you laughed...

You were thirty-four years old and I was twenty-two...

It was tonight twenty-five years ago when I got the call from Mom saying she had to call 911...

TWICE...

She had just come home from work and found you on the floor...

You were in the hospital now...

By the time Mom and I arrived you were on the respirator and in a coma...

Next Morning I got the call that I was needed at the hospital...

When I arrived...

I was told we're just waiting for them to drown your heart...

Legal murder I thought to myself...

They tried to reassure me that due to all of your major organs shutting down your heart was the last to go...

More fluid pumped in...

You looked really fat...

To fat...

From one overnight stay...

Noon hour tomorrow...

Straight line...

He's gone said the nurse...

I guess I am older than you...

Nothing is impossible...

Miss You...

Love You...

Your Sis...

I'm always happy for the gift of forgiveness and understanding of what I needed understanding for...

You tried to overcome struggles...

Misunderstood...

I remember the look in your eyes...

When you realized Baby Sis knew and understood you better than...

Anyone...

Including the Doctors with all their fancy books and degrees hanging proudly on the walls...

Oops...
