Wow JB sorry your brother is dealing with this. Make my issues seem like nothing.

I’m glad you posted his story. He has a hockey player mentality.

Courage by The Hip is playing for him

Great article Justin! Jeff glad to hear you’re doing good. People say music can cure all and after reading this one song came to mind, Jeff this ones for you.
Authority Zero “Courage”
So you say you’re on your own
And nothing’s going right
Fist to fist and heart to heart
You get back up and fight

And now…
Your torn like a flag on a battleground
Stepped on and beaten down
But somehow, yeah somehow
You still manage, yeah you manage to survive
You manage to survive.

[Chorus:]
It’s your courage
Take ‘em on, take ‘em out
Take a stand, take a bow
It’s your courage
Take ‘em on, take ‘em out
Take a stand, take a bow

So…
So now you’re thinking it’s the end
You’re stuck in your self doubt
And if a picture says 1000 words
Take ‘em till your words run out
Well it’s a new chapter in your life
In your broken soul, your broken bones
Your broken heart, your broken bonds
But you still fight to make it right
In your broken soul, your broken bones
Your broken heart, your broken bonds
But you still fight to make it right
to make it right

[Chorus:]
It’s your courage
Take ‘em on, take ‘em out
Take a stand, take a bow
It’s your courage
Take ‘em on, take ‘em out
Take a stand, take a bow

It’s last call, last chance
Line ‘em up and let’s make it last
Why wait when the days go fast
Make the call don’t let it pass
[x4]

[Chorus:]
It’s your courage
Take ‘em on, take ‘em out
Take a stand, take a bow
It’s your courage
Take ‘em on, take ‘em out

Jeff-You are a remarkable person for all that you have had to deal with in your life. I pray for a speedy recovery from this recent incident. You also have a great sense of humor. DON’T ever lose that. BTW-This little piggy went to market takes on a whole different meaning now. I know, I have a BAD sense of humor.

Justin-We miss you in Alaska, but I’m glad that you are doing well and have finally been able to unpack. I try to keep up on your posts, but I usually end up reading a month at a time. Thank you for your insiders view and amusing posts. It gives the fans a different perspective of the world that is hockey.

To the both of you-I am so envious of your relationship. I have an older brother who I did not grow up with. He is mentally challenged and lived with my grandparents until their deaths. He is now in a group home on the East Coast. Never forget how important you are to one another. God bless the both of you!!

I went to see Jeff on Tuesday (not knowing anything about the code blue stuff yet!) After filling me in on what happened we shared some hugs etc and then later he was asking me if I was still planning on coming for a drink for his birthday. Nothing changes this guy! Love him so much.

Jeff – you’ve got a great attitude! Keep it up – that’s part of the battle on your road to recovery.

Justin – you’ve shown your readers that you can write about a whole variety of different topics with insight, humor, passion and compassion. I don’t read your blog for just hockey. You bare your soul here – it doesn’t go unnoticed. “Compelling” is the best I can come up with.

You Bourne brothers seem to be two very brave men!
