My dad sent me these pictures yesterday when he went up to Mayer, Arizona to visit my grandparents. My grandma has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, which has been hard on the family and even harder on her. Im glad that my dad took the day yesterday, the birthday of my brother, to go and visit with them.
On that note, I sat here and pondered if I would feel this horrible every year come March 25th (the anniversary of his death) and June 5th (his birthday). Will a year ever go by that I will be able to be "normal"? The sad thing is, probably not. Every year on these two days I will probably continue to be as scatter-brained and distant as I was yesterday. Its not like I go around parading my sadness, in fact I dont think most people knew, but those that did made sure I was ok...the same people that will probably remember to do that every year...my friends.
So I wanted to put some pictures on here of my dad and my grandparents and then also some of my brother, KJ.

My dad and grandparents:
