MY BROTHER DIED TODAY.............Thunderhead

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling

From glen to glen, and down the mountain side

The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying

'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow

'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow

Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying

And I am dead, as dead I well may be

You'll come and find the place where I am lying

And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me

And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be

If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

Today my little brother "Danny O" died. I'm very sad right now to say the least. He was like my twin since we were only 13 months apart and grew up very close. Danny died of internal hemorrhaging from ruptured veins in his stomach. My mom sang this song to him (we always sang this to him since he was a child). I held his hand while telling him I loved him, and his ex-wife Connie stroked his head. God be with you Danny...I love you....see you soon....
