Chris' Birthday

My brother, Chris, would have turned 50 today. That sounds so old, even to my 46 year-old ears. Come November, it will have been 8 years since he died in a car accident. Monday marked 2 years since the Imp's best friend lost her mom to breast cancer. Lots of thoughts about time and mortality. No real answers except that time is such a variable entity. 8 years sounds like a long time yet it seems only yesterday Chris was playing "What's that on your shirt?" with my kids and boppin' their noses as they looked down.
