As I spent the majority of today getting ready for Hurricane Milton, I didn't realize what date it was. Thus, I was surprised when my cousin Billy called me to check on the hurricane and to also talk about Bunk's birthday. I never forget my brother's birthday, but sometimes the date gets away from me. I couldn't believe that it was already October 8th. It felt like the month had just started and here it was already over a week into October.
After I hung up with Billy, I felt bad, like I had let Bunk down for not posting anything this morning. It was still early afternoon. I could put out a post then, but that's when I realized that I didn't have to post on his birthday. I could post about him whenever I wanted. The most important thing about my brother was that I remembered him. That I do quite often and the past few weeks, I had actually been thinking about him a lot. I was working on a project that included something that he loved as a child. I hadn't had a lot of time to finish it and had set aside this week to do so. If the hurricane hadn't been coming, I would have finished it done today. Now, the project will be a great way to spend time while we are sheltering from the storm and remember some of my favorite childhood memories of my brother.
