Five Years Ago Today

Nashville, Tennessee

December 8, 2020 10:35am CST

My brother always called me his little sister. He taught Dustin many things. How to fish, as in this photo. As well as many other life events. Many memories to hold onto. I learned a lot from him as well. His career was Director of Bio-Med at a large hospital. Very smart. Five years ago he passed. I miss him every day of course. Never enough time with our loved ones. Thank goodness for photos. They are treasures and take me back to the moment they were taken. I remember this moment as if it were yesterday.

Thank you, this was a favorite memory for sure. Dustin was so serious about his fishing. My brother was as well.

I am sorry, it sounds like you were close. I am sure that the 2 of them are just across the water on the shore fishing together.

@CarolDM My friend I am sure of it, and when you close your eyes for the final time, you will know it as you will hear his sweet little voice saying Mommy look at the fish that we caught for you.

@CarolDM Absolutely not, I realized that the age does not matter, mom was 97, but I was not ready to see her go.

@CarolDM We had a kind neighbor man 'Chum,' who took my son under his wing. He was happily married, with a son Joey, who was Chad's buddy. He did many wonderful things with Chum and Joey.

@CarolDM I don't see the photo here either, I don't know for what reason ?! I love photos, they are memories and it's nice to look at them sometimes, they remind us of some details that we don't remember often but the photos remind us
