July 5, 1967, my brother drowned on Lake Michigan. 
I only have 1 real memory of him seeing how I was a little under 3 at the time. It changed my life so much because my parents, my mother in particular, became much more over protective of me than she was of the other 3 kids, all of who were grown when I was born. It did teach me lessons that I have learned...........and lessons that I needed to learn as I also lost a son and had a daughter after. I try not to make the same mistakes my mom made (I loved her dearly but it is never good to tell one child that "God sent you to us to be Jim's replacement"....no, not good at all!
