My Only Brother

My brother, Joe, woke me with a phone call at 7am. We spent Saturday afternoon at his house for a barbeque celebrating his new job and move to California. He called to tell me I left 4 bags, but I had left them for his wife. He was leaving for California today and I will miss him. He lived about 200 miles away but the last couple of years I would get a call from him whenever he was at DFW airport. I'm pretty sure he doesn't incur long distance calls on his cellphone and he never had time to meet me anywhere, just felt the need to contact me when he was a couple of miles from my house. Baron said we would have a reason to visit California now but the whole situation still makes me weepy.
