It's A Grand Old Flag...................

I have to say that venting yesterday really helped but also hearing another perspective was what sealed the deal.  I thank each and every person who took the time to comment.  Sometimes it is just helpful to listen to someone with a completely unbiased point of view.  I can't tell you how much that helped me.  I think I knew it all along but I was just reacting emotionally.  I absolutely do not have the right to tell my brother what to do with a gift from our parents.  

In spite of my new found awareness I was unable to sleep last night.  I wasn't thinking about Mike, Butch or even Ron's cancer.  I just couldn't turn my brain off.  It was going from this to that but to nothing in particular.  My body said sleeeeeep but my brain said no way!  I think I finally fell asleep around 4am and then the alarm rang at 6:00.  It's gonna be a long day!

Today is Flag Day - Olga's birthday!  Happy Birthday Olga and my sweet brother Mike's birthday!  My daughters are taking him out for a birthday lunch!   Happy Birthday all you Flag Day babies...............
