Re: Wrenn

Hi Guitar Matt,
First, I'd like to say that there was one thing that you said that kinda "blew me away",...that you're glad that you're not like everyone else, WOW. Great statement about identity and character. Your story about your brother was very sad. I would be curious to know how you deal with it, but only as a curious spectator entertaining a sentimental fascination about the strength required to deal with it. You see, I lost my brother 19 years ago to drugs, and I just wouldn't be able to respond back to you about the "brother" thing. I woke up about 11 years ago and got ready to meet my brother at a restaurant for lunch, and, after about 10 minutes, I realized where I had seen him last,...at his funeral. I always knew he was dead and thought I handled his death well, but I guess I was wrong. About two years ago, I wrote a poem about a "fantasy" funeral and the memories that I wish I had of an imaginary buddy. I don't know if it was about my brother and don't want to know. There probably will always be something inside of me about that, but I can't help but be curious about "brothers and strength". That is a strength and understanding I will never envy, but that is also an experience that I know I can learn from.

been there, done that Tweet
