Oh my, this is like writing about my brother. When we were little, we were together every day. I'm a year older than he is. My Grandmother never gave one something without giving to the other. We had the run of the farm. After raising 8 children, my grandmother decided to have another child in her 40's. I was already here for a whole year when Jerry was born. My birthday is July 22, 1949 and Jerry's birthday is July 24, 1950. How close a bond we have. All the pictures you see of us, when we were little are together. T he closeness continued all of the teen years and if I needed to talk, he was there.
Once I had a real emotional problem and he sent me a book 'i still have and I read it with thoughts of Jerry each time. We went thru some bad times and I was there for him. One day we planted pine trees in his front lawn and they are still there. Those trees are a reminder of a bad time that grew something good. After that period of time Jerry turned his entire life around to God. God touched him in a powerful way and has never let go. Jerry is a man with respect and love from his community. He is one special man and I am proud of him. He is to be looked up to for all that he has dealt with and always came out of it knowing God was always in control. He is my first 'brother'and we are still there for each other.
I love him and the man that he has become. May God continue to bless him.
