All I know is when my big brother died at a young age, I knew this was serious business. No do-overs. Funny thing is when he died he saved my life. Twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My brothers death didn&#8217;t teach me &#8220;how&#8221; to live. It taught me to get busy living. He was 26 when he died and I was 22. I learned the hard way that things can go sideways at any minute. That was the first lesson. He saved my life from mediocrity and subsequent regret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He saved my life again some years later when I found that I had the same heart condition that killed him. It just took longer to develop in me to the point to where it was critical. I got lucky. Wait&#8230; was that luck? Or, could there be a reason why he died and I got to learn from it? Hmmmmm. I really don&#8217;t know. That&#8217;s not what I&#8217;m saying at all. Either way, I&#8217;m working to get better and better at this &#8220;life&#8221; thing. I&#8217;m not trying to be a saint. But, I can certainly get more in tune with who I am and what I&#8217;m doing here&#8230; what I&#8217;m good at. That way maybe I can be helpful to someone, somewhere. I don&#8217;t know. I really don&#8217;t know. I&#8217;m just trying to take what I&#8217;ve been given, be thankful for it and make good of it. That&#8217;s all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#WhoWasFaith<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think it&#8217;ll be important, but I&#8217;m not sure what I will post here exactly.
