My brother...

Today I took the day off. This is something I have done for the last 4 years every March 14 and it is to spend with a very good friend of mine whos birthday just happens to be on this day (happy birthday Mike!!!) What makes this day a little unusual is that typically birthdays are a day of celebration and joy, but on this day 4 years ago my buddy Mike's sister died of an apparent drug overdose which shattered many lives. A tragic loss of life. It's strange how I used to hear Mike complain and argue with his sister and tell me how much he hated her at times, and tell me that he has tried to do everything he could to change her life. At times he was so angry with her that he swore that he would never speak to her again. But in the end when we were celebrating his birthday and the call came that said she had just died, it was hard to see a good friend feel so much pain and hurt. Mike is a great friend of mine, as a matter of fact he is more like a brother. Someone who has always been there for me....no questions asked!!!!, and I have done the same for him, so on this day I guess we'll go and hang out together, catch a movie and some luch and probably throw down a few beers with some laughs (although I know he's hurting). Simply put...I'll be there for him as I've done in the past and always will. Sorry if this journal is a little "down", just something I wanted to write.Aloha,Dan
