My Brother's Keeper- (Damon Mootz)

I am my brother's keeper. I think I've always been. Elizabeth and Jett thought Damon was my little brother for years. Maybe because it always kinda felt that way. I comforted him when we were little when our parents would be away, when he got in trouble and when he was having a bad day. And when we got older I was there when the nightmares came, the heartbreak and the drink. I chased the fear and fret from his eyes as best I could. And when life shook me to my soul, broke me down, and drowned me in grief we struggled to understand eachother but he was there to take the kids to the park, the snow, on bike rides, movies and yes, of course, fishing. Because of Damon, Jett has an intense love of the outdoors and fishing, the legacy of my father. Just as we were making our way back round to each other the devestating news and stage 4 cancer diagnosis came shortly after the new year. We are running out of time now. I can comfort, love, keep company and caretake but I can't chase the cancer from his body. All I can do now is make as many more memories as we can, live in every moment and love hard. It's in this place that I ask my friends, Damon's friends and family to help me remind my brother what a full life it has been, he's not alone and never has been. Please help me show him what a long strange life it's been. Send me pictures, stories, well wishes, videos anything. A couple words or a book. Please! And for those of you who have inquired about his bucket list and want to help financially support our efforts. We're not sure what we can accomplish but we got some ideas. So please send me those stories and pics and thank you in advance for alll your love and support now and through the years. We'll keep you all posted!
