I remember how Doug came over to our house in 1969. After I quit HS and he sat me down at the kitchen table, and we talked for a couple of hours. The next day he took me down to see the Navy recruiter, and I got the forms for the old man to sign, so I could enlist at 17. A few weeks later, I was on my way to boot camp in Great Lakes, IL. Then, some months later, after I finished boot camp and was sent to “A” school, and Doug and Merle were also at Bainbridge, MD. I used to go to the riding stables on my time off, and then went from the stables to their house for dinner. Merle complained about me coming straight from the stables and smelling of horses. :) .... Then, years later when we were both stationed in the Philippines at the same time. Doug was always there for me, as a mentor, and as a friend.

Prayers for your brother and your family.
I have personal troubles and difficulties that your comment has just made seem tiny and insignificant. I am praying that your suffering is eased and that you may also be strengthened so you can bravely face your own personal journey into that undiscovered country. The sadness of our earthy separation from those we love will be temporary but our joy when we are all reunited will be eternal if we trust in our Lord Jesus Christ.
God Bless you and strengthen your family.
