Thank you Andrew. I chose to divorce 1/2 of my bio-family years ago. It was for my survival. It took years for them to speak to me and my Mom (who came out when I was 17) They were too toxic to be around. he later remarried and had 2 children. My 1/2 brother killed himself at 16, and I do not know the whereabouts of my 1/2 sister.

During that time, we moved far away due to death threats from my father, his constant vigilance and harassment, and the inability to be who we were in a small Pennsylvania town. I have learned that true friendship and love in the gay community can last a lifetime, and when and if the family comes around, you can be rich in other things.

From my flame to yours, may we share the true light of love and to my sister Cindy wherever you are.

Yes, Tommi. You are right. That is why we are all interconnected. I loved reading your post. Thank you for that, dear brother.

Love,
Andrew

PS: I lost my younger brother to suicide as well. He was 15 yo.

A night of reflection creates a list
of prayers for the burning bowl,
to release pain, to create renewal of faith
for belief in oneself, for healing and for properity.
May today bring you each blessings.

I light a candle for the loss of my best friend, room mate, sister of the heart....who passed away on Valentines day this year. She was sick for a while but I never expected this...I feel like part of my heart has been torn out. We miss you Renie and you were and are so loved. All our love, Bobbi and our fur babies, Casey Dog, the kitties, Emily and Sammie

Today my devotional candles were burning and I lite up my incense. No rhyme or reason for today. There is just so much suffering. People have so much on their plate, and don't post about it. I know I don't. I was listening to something that Ted Kennedy said once in an interview with some reporter. He said that in life there are 3 stages. The first stage you are young looking foreward to new beginnings and having new experiences. The second stage was the actual experience itself. Then the last stage of life was remembering the celebrations, the experiences one had, and all that was inbetween. There was really nothing left to look forward too. I look at some people who are my age who are really living at the last stage when they should be living life to it fullest. So really I think that is who I prayed for today looking back.

I always pray for the sick, poor, and needy.

I wish everyone here love and peace,
Andrew

Andrew, Jr. · 03-26-2011, 11:24 AM

Today I am praying for people who are lost, alone, and lonely - not only in Japan but world over. I also am praying for those who have no family. Nobody to call for no reason at all other than to just talk. I am praying for those who suffer from all kinds of addiction, mental illness, terminal illness, and such. My candles are burning bright.

My prayers are with those who have diabetes, AIDS/HIV, and other blood disorders.

I wish everyone here peace and love,

Andrew
