This post is dedicated to my niece's brother, James. Another wonderful person whom passed away much too soon.
My heart breaks for Christine (my nephew Taita's wife) and the rest of the family as they mourn the loss of their loved one. I regret I never met James mainly because I do enjoy meeting people and getting to know them and such. I like to think myself being an open-minded person, a free-spirit whom always takes time to get to know others. Most often than not I end up with fantastic friends (sometimes life-time friends) whom I can count on and maybe lose touch with for a while, but able to pick up right where we last left off. James seems to have been this kind of person.
From what Christine writes and recalls of her brother, he was a very special person to many and just as endearing and important to her, her daughter (Brianna) and to my nephew (Taita). Life is tough and sometimes we get the short end of the stick, but when at the end of it all so many people come up from out of the proverbial wood-work and say wonderful things about you and have awesome memories of you then you know you did something right. With that said and done...way to have lived a good life, James. I did not know you or what kind of life you had, but the stories I am reading about you lead me to believe you were kind and generous. Rest in peace!
Special note to Christine (from your Texas family), we extend our condolences to you and send blessings to you all to be okay during this huge loss in your life.
