Lewis 'Chesty' Puller was the toughest Marine ever.
Reading his biography 'Marine' he writes some of the
most loving letters to his wife.
I lost my brother Mick on August 3rd. He was 55.
We lived far apart and I hadn't seen him in 4 years.
Now I think about him a lot and all the stuff we used to do as kids and adults.
Hope you're in a better place, Mick!
When my mother was still alive I would close the business the week of Thanksgiving and wife and two kids would travel 560 miles by car to visit. One one trip I had a tire out of balance so stopped in the next town and had it rebalanced. When I told the guy I had closed the business to visit he said somthing profound. "WHY IS IT WE ALWAYS FIND TIME TO ATTEND A FUNERAL BUT NEVER TIME TO VISIT WHEN THEY ARE ALIVE"...
