Good Nite My Brother Jon

Guys - thanks so much for your heartfelt comments. They are very much appreciated by me and my family. It's been a tough week here all around taking care of all the arrangements and being strong for my family.
Thank you again for the support!!
 
So this will the last post by me on this topic cause i am not into self gratification and Cany was nice enough to allow this.
But wanted to share a video we took together. Jon is on the camera and narrating and i am on wheel talking too.

We were coming back from a day trip on my boat from the Fish Tales. At the time we were maybe 10-20 miles off Montauk.(i forget) .

When we fished, I always told him to keep a look out for birds and signs of life on the water. On this day he did. He saw a bunch of birds working on about 2 miles off starboard...so we made a b -line to check it out. This is what we found. And yes silly speculation on our part as to the species of the mammal! 2 videos. Thanks guys!



 
The nights are when i think about my brother more so then the days. Maybe because during the day i am pre-occupied with stuff.

After almost a month and a half, i have come to really understand that his passing and him not being here in the physical sense if permanent. That was not something I thought about in the first few days of his passing. But it has sunk in now. I accept it, gods wish, his time to go. I get that. But it just sucks. I thought i would see him grow up, get married, have kids, and we could have a little combined family together with all of us, our wives and the kids and the nieces and nephews running around the BBQ and fire pit, chasing bugs in the back yard.

Makes me realize how precious life is and to hold onto what you can when you can.

I wrote this poem for him a couple a week ago.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I can see everything now clearly.
Years past. Nothing clear at all.

You know I now nothing at all, Sedy.
About nothing and everything under the thunder and the rain.

The thunder and rain that pours down on us with love and challenges on “The Final Frontier”.

That fog, lightning, and waves; those little ripples under our feet.
And the look on your beautiful face, as we ride this storm out together.

Almost nothing better.

I am on my belly watching you my brother from mid-field, years before:
You are so confident in your set up; looking back at me with your smile as if you knew.
And maybe you did because you scored that goal and won the game for the team.

And I’m with you reeling in every fish we caught and lost together.

And I tried to catch every ball you ever threw to me.

So here we are today. I’m with you Sedy, every step of the way from here to wherever you go next.
God speed my brother.

5 Years buddy. Don't know where this time goes...but it goes, slowly and then really fast. Thank you for the fortune your angel has bestowed on me these past 5 years.

If you were here I can imagine
That U would be married and have a kid, happy in love
And we'd be still be 'tuna-fishing' wishing offshore lol

Our Memories remain in our bones and hearts my brother long afterwards we are gone

Love you so much Jon and miss you every day.
