Blogging why do it?

Why do I blog?  I am testing the waters of writing random thoughts into coherent sentences.  

Mick passed away

Here it is August 3rd and my January resolution has fallen by the wayside.  Since January my brother Mick has passed away.  He died at home after being in the hospital.  He wanted nothing more than to go home.   He had a great day with his son Jim.  The sun was out and Jim had mowed Mick's lawn that day.  Afterwards they enjoyed a good conversation.  I really think Mick died a happy man.  His family rallied to his aid and made him as comfortable as possible.  It meant a lot to him to be at home when he died.
