I read your comments as I went to bed and was a little breathless. The love and pain in your experiences were palpable. My condolences for all the loss and grief, Ray. I’m sure you realize your gay brother wanted you to bear witness as much as anything to his life and humanity, the good, bad, and sometimes ugly sides of it. It sounds like there was much love and much respect between you both. Unsurprising, based on my limited and virtual experiences with you. Thank you for sharing this. So many for too long have run from the grief and trauma those years caused. While it would be nice to “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” most of it, mankind doesn’t work like that…and no matter how fast we run or how hard we try, grief usually catches up and finds us. In my book, it’s not a bad thing at all. It’s what helps us heal if we’re willing to sit with it and make friends with our past. At least I hope so. You know far better than I about how our brains work—or don’t—but I wanted to share my thoughts on the matter. To your continued physical and emotional healing….
