This morning I went into the YouTube rabbit hole. It was started by going to a music clip one of my nephews-in-law posted on Facebook. Mack is a musician by hobby and now by trade. At 62 he retired from an 8-5 job and is now working with the high school band program. Mack is in love with this new job. Being both a composer and performer, Mack is enjoying helping young people explore their talents.
Once I finished watching/listening to a few music videos, I was drawn to a tribute to Mohammad Ali. The person giving the tribute was Billy Crystal. Click on Billy's name to see the entire tribute. There was a point in the tribute where Crystal recounts Ali giving him a hug. Then Ali whispered into Crystal's ear, "You're my Little Brother." That recounted gesture sent me into tears.
Immediately I recalled my last goodbye to Sis #1. It had been less than a month since Sis #1 had held my hand tightly. She called me her little sister. Then she said, "you'll never know how much I love you." Finally, the tears flowed. Tears of grief, sorrow, but mostly love! Love for my Big Sissy.
That's all I have to say now.
