Brother, we have had our share of fights and fun. I missed you those last 2 years. I have dreaded that we had cross words that night but especially now that you are gone, I never really know if you forgave me. I forgave you and I am so glad I apologized for our last argument. I think it was the 2nd worse we ever had you and I. I know living with me wasn't easy but I bet I was easier to reason with. I wish I could have been there with you Charlie, no one deserves to be alone in their final moments.
I hope and pray you made ammends for any wrongs and that God heard your cries for salvation. You had so many demons you were fighting, they are gone now, same as the pain you were in. None of us really knew but could only imagine.
Things changed in about 1982, unfortunately for the worse for all of us that dreadful day, but no one knows what you had to conquer. You came thru a traumatic time and proved everyone in the medical field wrong. God was with you then so I know He had to be with you when your last breath was drawn.
You were a loving, giving Father, Brother, Favorite Uncle, Cousin, and Mama's boy. You and her are together now with TL and Mary, Daddy too I suppose. All the other ones we will one day reunite with, Friends, you were a one of a kind and was sometimes too good for your own good. Mattie told you not to let it change you....But you did it your way. I love and miss you, Your Little Sis.
