I feel compelled to write about what is on everyone's mind today, remembering that somber day, when we laid our dear brother, Stephen John Sullivan to rest 4 years ago today on July 5th.
We all have had our personal stories of Stephen, the laughs we shared, his quips and quirks, and his sorrows and sufferings. Stephen always stepped up to the plate when he was needed and beneath all the layers of his skin,he was a very kind, loving soul.
I will personally never forget my experiences with him in taking care of our Dad and how much I admired him for taking this on, without him,it would have been impossible to keep Dad home. One of the many times I had dinner with him after Dad's passing he would say, " I don't think anyone knows what it takes to take care of a family member at home unless they have experienced it. The one thing that I learned from all of this was "compassion". And with that let's all remember to have compassion for each other, regardless of our circumstances we all still have each other and the
thoughts and memories of our loved ones will live in our hearts forever.
Please say a prayer today for our brother Stephen as you go about your day today
Remember the good and happy times with him!
Love to all!!
Mary
