Sometimes I just think too much. Days like today just remind my of my brother Johnny. I miss him so much. I teach piano lessons at the school 2 days a week, and this was one of those days. I see the school kids, and I am reminded of my brother. He was a good student. He always wanted to make things better. I don't know why I am reminded of him at certain times. I think about him all the time. I know he is in a better place, but sometimes I just want to see his smile or hear his funny remarks. I wonder if any of you remember him as often as I do.
The Results are In....

Yes, every once in awhile something out of the blue will remind me of Johnny - a look, a laugh, thinking about his classmates,or just talking about something. He was a lot of fun to have as a student. There was never a dull moment!!! :) I have many fond memories of him and miss him too. He was a good guy. My last conversation with him was incredible. I had never been so impressed by him and the work that God was doing in his life. I'm glad he went out on top!
Things do bring him up often. Actually the other day I thought about him, I guess more your mom since the kids that went with him to school are getting married, having kids... Wonder how you guys were doing.
It is the same with my mom. I think of her very often. I am different though and manage somehow to make my mind go somewhere else when I start getting too sad. I don't deal with things. :). We are all different. I imagine it gets easier.
While I didn't know Johnny very well, I did notice that he pretty much always had a smile on his face. he was always quick to help (whether it was needed or not!), and was just an all around great kid. The one thing I remember the most was the last time I saw him. It was his last visit home. He normally never said much of anything to me, so I was surprised when he said, "Hi, Mrs. Griffin, how are you today?" It was then I noticed just how much he had changed. His countenance was so different, you could tell God had done something in him. I still think back to that day ... and am so happy God chose to use him even beyond this life.
