More on Egon’s family: brother next to youngest (autistic) missed out on a lot of enjoyment because his companion-brother (he was #3 of 4) wasn’t “there” for him...his biggest sorrow growing up...
As a Coast Guard “lifer” at an event in San Diego a couple of years back, he ended up having to do a takedown on an Asperger’s young adult who was panicking because of unexpected separation from his dad...#3 did the takedown on asphalt efficiently WHILE protecting the young man’s head from impact, then had to remind the gathered crowd to get him some help...after reuniting dad and son, the son shook hands and thanked our Coastie...perhaps at dad’s prompting, but both dad and son understood — and #3 was given a chance to see his loss through different eyes...God is good.
Say “yes” to God’s redemptive love - that’s the lesson for all of us — and setting good examples for each other just grows out of that: thanks, Egon, for being such a good example, over and over and in so many ways.
I love you.
