before heaven

today is march 4th. if my brother, samuel falk lenzner, were still alive today he'd be turning twenty five years young.

sammy, happy birthday wherever you are. i miss you.

before heaven. before next life, we live.

this is all throughout 1989, or so it is written on the box where i found these photos. so i'm pretty certain we're talking '89. my momma was great at snapping photos and properly archiving them in boxes through the years.

sammy, one day we'll be back together, chilling and lounging on some crazy mad heavenly living of some sort. as poppa says, "this is just batting practice." and i agree with him. so as my dear friend lars says, "until such time." be sure to ask yann about that, he's gotta be around where you are...

keep on shining on... i want you to know that i see you in the twinkle of the stars and i feel you in the warmth of the sun. you glow in the moonlight and you whistle with the wind. you embrace the earth in the eternal lapping of the shores and with the cycle of the seasons.

but i miss your smile and i miss you being here with me and poppa and davey every day.

i know you're having fun though and smiling wider than ever.

i love you.

love and health to all...
