I found a new old pic of me and my big brother.
Looks to be just post Air Force-- say '76 or '77. He hadn't yet had his leg amputated- I hadn't yet grown my beard.

He taught me all I know about facing real pain and spitting in its eye. He was literally the strongest man I've ever known. He was my hero.

1. My dear Prisoner_Number_Six...
How often it is that photos are our only tangible link to our past?

And here is one.

It's fuzzy and yet...it captures both your expressions...

A moment out of your life...to be treasured.

Thank you for sharing!

:hug:

2. Nice pic Prisoner_Number_Six.
Pain has a way of showing our true selves. Sounds like your brother's was outstanding.
