My Brother, Richard Steven Hundley was born in 1972 and passed away in 2012. Miss you Bird-Bird!!
Stevie, Earth Angel

You were born blind
Eyes that could not see the beauty
Of your own sweet smile
Yet you saw beauty 
in the people who loved you
 and discerned every intention.

You were born with Cerebral Palsy
You could not speak a word
Could not convey
 the kindnesses you thought
Yet you spoke love and trust so loudly
 to those who took time to hear you.
The nonsense sounds and utterings
Became sweet music 
your family understood. 
"I do too Ceeka"
"I love you too Stevie."

Your fragile body, withered and broken,
 was unable to move freely...
unable to walk or dance
 to the music you held so dear.

Yet in my dreams
 you walk to me,
You dance to 
majestic angel songs.

I am blessed to have known 
your innocent soul...
but heaven is where 
you have always belonged.

Such a beautiful tribute to your brother Crystol. What a sad situation. We knew a young girl named Lindessa who only lived to about 6. Her cerebral palsy was extreme and we deduced she probably wasn't being well cared for. Anyway, she inspired me to write a story titled Last of the Icemen. It's set in Mongolia. Keep writing your heart Crys

What a beautiful name for a beautiful soul... that kills me to think she wasn't cared for properly. The doctors told my parents my brother wouldn't live to be 5 but he was in his 40s when he passed. Thank you for your comments! Id love to read your story. P.s. new picture, changed back to my real hair color lol, brunette! Bleach is too damaging to hair. Xoxo
