9 years on Saturday my brother passed a way. I remember the day so clearly. It was a typical Idaho Spring in the month of April; the wind was blowing , sunny a few clouds in the sky. I had to go to work for my 4 hours a day too Haven to grandpas. Then went to work and after work went back to grandpas to pick up Haven . My dad was just so excited to see his son Brian. ( which is my brother) he told me to wait for him he should be here any minute. I waited for about a half hour and decided I had better go. While I was there my dad expresses he didn't want to go on this hunting trip that my brother and my dad had planned right before my brother started his big career. ( my brother had just finished up pro golf school and got a job at a great golf course in Montana. Him and his wife just had there first baby and they were finally going to live there dream)
Well as soon as I walked out the door I saw him and his dog Ali. He always gave the best hugs . I sure do miss those. I remover how excited he was for his job. I remember him telling me that if you are not doing something you love for work you shouldn't do it. I also remember telling him that my dad didn't want to go on the hunting trip and maybe they should just stay home. ( keep in mind my brother had drove from Arizona to Idaho non stop in one day) . He was really exhausted. I remember he showing me all of Ali's tricks he had taught her. She was their oldest kid. I left when home said good bye he said Happy Birthday . They went on there way and I got a phone call from my mom that there was an accident and my dad didn't know if my brother was ok. My husband called the hospital and they told us the news. It was really hard to tell your sister and your mom that your brother has passed. So many great memories about him though. Here is some pictures.

What a touching post Apes. It never gets easier I think. The only consolation is the gospel. I can't even begin to imagine what important work Brian is doing on the other side awaiting family!
