Some are Called Young

Today was my brother's birthday. He would've turned 36, however, he only lived to make it to 23.

Once I was told to not ask God "why?". As hard headed as I am, I have asked Him "why?" and it has taken many years to finally figure out that I just should've listened from the very beginning.

I do not know, let alone understand, why my brother was called so young. All I know is that he lived short, but he lived intense. His life has provided ample examples for all those who knew him.

We miss you Beto!

  2. I had not read this MF! So nice. All I have are good memories and a son that reminds me of him more each day!!! As a priest once told you mom "God picks his roses when they are in bloom!" I agree with you, his life was short but intense.
