Today Doug would be 50 years old. I really wish we could have a party and celebrate him. These days are never easy, no matter how much time has passed. I sometimes get a little angry because I feel like we were robbed of precious time…time that was never guaranteed in the first place. BUT I can celebrate and be grateful because he was born. He was born to my parents and he was my brother.

Happy birthday baby brother! You are loved and missed by your family and so many others.
