I wasn’t going to post anything today, but shortly after I woke up I had a smile on my face and I wanted to share with you all.
Today Brian would’ve been 21.
Many of you didn’t know that Brian loved most things that had the flavor peach. I had a bottle of peach wine that we were saving to celebrate after is last chemo treatment which would have been this Wednesday.
The last time we were at the doctors he asked if he could have a cigar. Unfortunately, he was not able to do either one of them. He also asked me when we were packing him to come back home in September to make sure I packed his winter boots because he was going to go hunting with Mr. Joz and also to pack his cigar box. I finally opened up his cigar box and apparently he was also into pipes.
Now, if you truly knew Brian you will totally appreciate this. He had a Corn Cob pipe and a Sherlock Holmes like pipe. The smell of the tobacco reminded me of my uncle. Now, excuse my ignorance, but he also has this piece that goes onto a cigar. Hope the pictures make you smile. I totally understand if you are sad today , but I hope you can chuckle along with me as well.
My family wanted to do something in honor of Brian’s birthday so some of us went to the Care Center at Willow Creek Church he served at on Saturday mornings. It was an amazing morning! We all felt him smiling down on us. Happy Birthday!
