My Brother, Ron

I don't know if I can even describe how very much I love my brother, Ron--but I do. I have always felt an extremely close kinship to him and a connection with him that defies true description. Even when we were kids, I thought Ron was special. Always he was my ally and my best bud and when I needed him, truly needed him, he was always there.

Still, to this day--it's like that. I get around Ron and I feel that special bond that I only have with him. It's almost as if we can read each other's thoughts at times--I tend to pick up his vibes and he mine -- but it's been like that for years and years. I think because he is the first male that I ever truly loved and respected. It took forever for me to love and respect my dad -- and my older brother Ken was always in trouble, but when we were growing up, Ron was the only male that I trusted and truly loved. Even later in life I always counted on him and believed in him when I couldn't bring myself to count on or believe in any other men in my life. I always wanted to believe in men, but so many of them let me down and made me aware that they just weren't very dependable.

Then the day came when I found out that my brother had turned to drugs to drown out some of his problems and woes and I was beside myself with grief and sadness. I prayed that Ron would overcome his additction, his angels and spirit guides would touch his soul and keep him from doing further harm to himself and those who loved him so very much. Finally the day came and Ron did indeed give up the drugs, the alcohol. He is raising his beautiful daughter pretty much on his own and doing an amazing job under the circumstances. I am constantly in awe of his ability to keep food in the house, clothes on his child and transportation to get her to and from school. He always makes sure that she has the dental and medical care that she needs and keeps a warm roof over her head.

Words cannot describe how very much I love my younger brother. He is a true friend and a sweet soul and a blessing to my life. I am so very glad that I am finally back home where I can share in bits and pieces of his and my beautiful neices's life at times. I love them both so very much!
