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
