“Lee is with new born Baby Al”
This was a prize winning photo … back when it was taken… 1962.
You see here… Little Lee looking into the baby crib of our brand new little baby “AL” …
Al was just born on January the 9th… just with in an hour of Elvis Pressley’s birthday… as our little Al … had decided as only he could… Al did not want to share the same birthday… as with someone that has already had his birthday on January the 8th……
As Elvis just had the biggest of events… for years to come!
After having taken this PHOTO of our brand new baby boy, “AL” just had to send it to all of the relatives living in Saint Louis… as we were living in Florida!
My Aunt Irene Brady Riley… just loved this PHOTO so much, that she had to have it enlarged and sent back to me… a copy of it enlarged … since it was just the best ever PHOTO she saw!
Aunt Irene said…”It looks like Little Lee and Baby Al are talking… as baby AL is holding his ear to hear… each and every word that big brother LEE is saying… and Little LEE is trying to be so quite, so as not to disturb his little baby brother Al… as he needs to sleep to get big enough to play… with him!
When you bring home a brand new little baby… you sometimes wonder how things are going to work out, as the older child was always the center of all of the attention, and now things look like they are going to be changed.
In LIFE… things have a way of working out for all and for many years.
Each child has and receives all the things in their LIFE time here and learn to make the most of their situation.
Both sons were well educated in all of those things that they each like to do and in life did share so much as they traveled the path that they selected to follow.
Al did learn to fly and built planes and travel and did get married and was Blessed to have had one son and two wonderful daughters… and the topping in this LIFE is to then have… the best of best, “Great Grand-Children!”
With all of the Blessings that we receive in LIFE… I guess that most know that there will be some “RAIN” to fall just when everything is going so well… for all of the family and in these times in LIFE… here on Earth…we just are not prepared to receive… an unexpected tragedy to hit us!
In these times today… with so many things hitting people head on with all kinds of pain… there is nothing like “Cancer!”
The sneak thief of “CANCER” has a way hitting a person… so that it is not detected and or known by the person that is slowing receiving… and into… different parts of the body without sufficient pain… to know that this “CANCER” is killing you… and when you finally detect that you have been hit with it…”You are just too for gone… for a cure!”
“Al has left… EARTH…NOW”

“Don’t criticize what you don’t understand, son. You never walked in that man’s shoes.” – Amen! Dad lived that way 100% – he always saw the good in everyone and everything. He was truly magnanimous! 🙌
I love this photo of Dad and Uncle Lee. Such sweet little cuties 🥰
May the good Lord bless our family during these heavy, grief-stricken days that we now face ahead.
