The absence of presence (haiku for lahmbi) by yeddo

All things must go on. I've been thinking of alot of things I could do to honor Harry's memory. A friend of mine, who also lost his brother, became an avid runner and runs every year in a marathon. It inspired me to try and do something similar and so I've decided to walk (these knees won't tolerate me running for very long) in the ALS Walk taking place May 21st @ Cantigny Park in Wheaton. I will make this a yearly event. If you are interested in supporting my jaunt, please go here and make a donation. I can not say enough great things about how the ALS Association stepped up and helped my brother during his illness. I wish the same thing for all the others stricken with this disease. It will be a good thing when there will be no need for ALS walks but until then this is just something I feel is worthwhile.

Thank you for taking the time to read this...and thank you in advance for donating.

peace

My brother Harry passed away December 27, 2010 after a prolonged battle with ALS. I will miss him more than words can express. He lived his dreams and is now in a better place. I love you my brother....always. (wc)
