horrible year- annus horribilus

Can't wait for this year to end. My beloved eldest brother Tony died of lung cancer. We were all blessed by his life. He suffered a massive heart attack about 7 years ago but survived. He had gout and rheumatoid arthritis and o witther problems that tormented him but you would never know that. He put up with a lot of health problems without complaint.
Also my beloved baby brother Rory ended his life this year. He was such a sweet man and no one had any idea that he would do such a thing.
I miss them both terribly, but I am comforted to think that they are together in heaven.

 


These are heart shaped earrings with onyx accents.
