Returning to San Francisco after another week in Coos Bay cleaning our mother's house. Almost done with a lifetime of memories. It's as though my brother and I have take. A trip to the past fueled by coffee, tears, good beer and friends. It's our own past we are dissecting too. While we have had fun and become closer we are both grateful to return to our families and to jobs we love.

We miss our mom but know she would be proud of us and the job we have done. Still, I'd rather have her alive. We are taking off now so I'll close. I am glad my brother and I are together - it's been so fun and easier together.

Aloha.
