This last year started off with a new job for me and an uncertain future for my brother Mike. Early on in the year, Mike, my son Andy, my nephew Michael and I all went to eat at Hooters on the river, took a ferry across and ended up at a Cincinnati Reds Game. That was fun.
A few months later, Mike, my other brother Mark and I went to see Aerosmith and Slash.
The last vacation Mike took was with me in Kansas City in November 2014.
I had the pleasure of living with Mike this entire past year as he went through all the ups and downs of a cancer diagnosis. From the uncertainty to the denial to the inevitable, I was there to watch it all happen. I watched him progress over the last year into an extremely strong spirit ready for the next step, a step Mike took without fear.
