I’ve been thinking a lot about one of my brothers that’s no longer alive, and how the way he lived seemed a miracle-friends called him “Lucky”. And while this is not easy, especially for me (gawd knows), we must trust the life our loved ones are living. It’s more productive to love them wherever they are-as is. I used to get so angry, sick, judgmental, protective from the choices he made. He would put himself in near death situations and laugh about it. Ever hear family say that ain’t no good for you, and you do it anyway. It’s painful to watch, yet it must be done. My brother wound up dead from living exactly the way he wanted. He never flinched in the fire. He was always brave and lived just that way. It’s bitter sweet. I understand now. ‪#‎dontletnobodystopyou‬ ‪#‎honoryourspirit‬ ‪#‎letgoofcontrol‬ ‪#‎takecareofyou‬
