Subject: RE: BS: Mourn Death/Celebrate Life
Hey, Wesley: October 20th, I rejoiced in my son Gideon's 35th birthday. At the same time, I honored the memory of his twin brother Joshua, who died in child birth. I can't even begin to comprehend what it is like to lose a child after you've been blessed with a few years of their lives. It was very hard, losing Joshua, but I never even saw him, so I carry no painful memories of times we shared together.

Except for one.

Joshua and Gideon really shook it up, in utero, whenever we played Honky Tonk Woman. They both loved that song. They even got my wife dancing, just out of a survival instinct.

Rejoice in Brendan. You are right... Patrick accepts all of your love for Brendan as his, too.
