    Tough Week

    My wife's brother passed this last Wednesday. His death was unexpected and a complete surprise. He was 41 and her baby brother. He had three children. It is very hard to see the person you love the most so upset and distraught; she is staying with him at the funeral home. He is survived his mother, two sisters, a wife, and his children.

    They will bury him Monday, next to his father.

    it is all very sad....her family is just devastated.


    i made a point to call my own sister. Whom I have not really talked with in years, and that has bothered me for some time. It felt good to speak with her. I am going to check on my estate planning so my own family will taken care of should anything expected happen.

    very
    Thanks

    Yeah I figured it out. It would not be ALASKA……... unless it was the absolutely the toughest it could be and worst possible case scenario!

    Condolences extended to you and your family Ivan. Stay strong, be the rock upon which others lean.

    Lord, make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true and my hand faster than those who would seek to destroy me. Grant me victory over my foes and those that wish to harm to me and mine. Let not my last thought be “If only I had my gun”; and Lord if today is truly the day that You call me home, let me die in a pile of brass.



    I am out of town, enjoy your holidays.

    After nearing dying twice( Car accident and hand infection) I always hug my wife and two sons( 21 and 24), I tell them I love them( My father was never brought up that way). I try to be kind to my fellow man. It has renewed by faith in Jesus Christ.

    My wife came home today. It was foggy all so no planes could land all day. I worked all day, watching the heavy fog outside. I went home.......not feeling great. I put gas in my honda, and looked up, and the fog cleared somewhat. i could see across the river. So I hopped on the Honda and shot up to the runway. I did a loop in the parking pad, and once I turned a 207 caravan dropped out the fog and landed. Just minutes before that plane showed up the fog cleared and lifted. My wife was on board, safe and sound.
    Thanks
