Every time I see Him he makes me smile! He is getting old and frail but he has thought me a lot! His sense of humor is fantastic.
Funny: On the range I shoot at There is and old gentleman who shoots bench rest rifles, who was his best friend! He was mid age between him and my next eldest brother ( who has past in 2013).....he always asks me "we have to try to get him out shooting"! "Your brother "Edge" is a true open site Marksman"!

Just an update on my brother. He spent 2 weeks in therapy and was finally able to come home to his wife and family this past Friday!
He now is in great spirits and happy to be sitting in his favorite chair again! He still will have to go to do some out patient therapy each week to strengthen his left leg and left hand ....but now he has a positive attitude that he will beat this thing! ( home and family make all the differenece)
Thank you guys for your support

JW that's great news. Been following your postings here. I am truly happy for you.
I haven't post before because of my own family tragedies. It just brings things to the surface everytime. Fortunately my two brothers are doing good.
We lost our youngest son Cole in 2000. He was 18, just. He was outstanding.
But the reason I bring this up is Karyn and I, besides what we we're going through, were watching what it did to our other two sons. Talon was 20 at the time and it just devastated him. Tommy was older by 10 years and more mature. So I can't say I understand, because my brothers are doing Okay.
But it's a hard thing losing people you love.
