THE BIG 5 - O

39 years ago…..

So why was it that I couldn't sleep thinking about my birthday?
The number 39 kept coming to mind…………
39 years ago 
If I could have just hung on tight 
If I could have just not let go
If I could have just held on for a little while longer
My last Birthday hug from my brother
It's in the past, I know
but why can't I let go? 

Holding back

What comprises a possible act of heroism? The fact that one acts upon a thought or impulse or the fact that one ponders the outcome of that impulse?
Easily can I communicate with one of those persons that went with my brother to what is implied as his last trip to the beach- Matagorda Beach to be specific.
Most importantly, that my mother knows that I can easily communicate with this person is even more devastating for me and approves my impulsive thoughts.
Would it be an intrusion on this person's life? Now I'm thinking about it too much and no longer is it an impulse. Yes, of course it would be an intrusion. Maybe they have forgotten about my brother already. Doubtful, though. It's sad to have to think that I need to bring this up so many years later and see if they know of any details that can lead us to settle this mysterious disappearance. In case you don't know what I'm writing about, you need to go to the beginning of the blog and read from My Intention.
Arriving at this landmark age of half a century today and knowing I had my brother for only 11 of those years, makes me want to jump out of this nightmare we have been living since June 29, 1975 and just end it. Be what may, good or bad, we need to know just what happened to Junior, aka my only brother, Roger. Let's see if I can do it. Let's see if I can communicate with this person and get some answers about the past.
