In Memoriam: my brother Michael

In memory of my brother Michael, who passed away one year ago today (October 31, 2010) after having lost his battle with brain cancer at the age of 51. I am writing this post, in his memory. I hope my brother is in a better place, watching over his kids, chatting it up with both sets of Nonni, my Aunt Pat, and many many other relatives who have since passed on.
