I have been having a few rough days. My brother's birthday is Sunday.
He would have been 56. Too young to be gone.
I am angry - that he is gone, gone because someone was in a hurry and careless.
Because of that carelessness he is gone. I struggle with this daily. It was an accident. She did not set out to take a life that day. And, yet, my brother is gone. I pray for her. She has to live with that the rest of her life. I pray for the driver of the semi she intended to pass. He had to witness that event and was powerless to stop it.
On my way home from work yesterday I looked over a little to my left and saw a beautiful sight.
A sundog. Little rainbows on either side of the sun.
This is not my picture, but very similar to what I saw.
Then later as the sun was setting, a beautiful sunset.
My picture does not do it justice.
So, even with my sadness I am able to see beauty around me.

Oh, Cindy - I am so sorry about your brother - and know that you still miss him - and will for the rest of your life. Your grief is shared by all who loved him - and those of us who only knew him through you. I love your photo of the beautiful "sundog". I have seen "double rainbows" before - but never a "sundog" - thanks for sharing - ;))
Losing a sibling to a crash is horrid. My youngest sister was killed in an accident that was due to nothing other than young, inexperienced driver. So inexplicable and painful. I'm sorry about your brother. :(
