"When it Rains, God's Crying"
'We Are Our Brother's Keeper'
(Genesis 4:9)

This is the story about a family who suffered unbelievable losses with emotional, physical and spiritual pain as a result, only to finally find everlasting peace knowing that what they went through others will benefit by.

About a brother and his sister, continuously torn apart, after
surviving a horrendous tragedy in the face of tremendous strife in our country in the late 1960's.
A time when the Watt's riots plagued our streets and assassinations plagued our political arenas: President Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy.

Times have not really changed.
Those that are trying to help others with a cause are still shot down ruthlessly.
But just like riding and falling off a horse, some that are only wounded keep getting back up to continue on their journey towards righteousness.

A story of a man with extensive brain injury who was sadly shuffled around the country for almost forty years in search of the best possible care, and ironically, ending up taking better care of his little sister.

A story of a woman who refused to cry uncle.

A struggle of finding one's way out of the desert of our society's hypocrisy.

Between the two, they were exploited beyond comprehension not only by some of their own family and friends, but by those who profess to be advocates of people with disability.

It is through her brother with the Grace of God that his sister found her way.

She will be forever grateful and honored
to be a part of his life, for he is her hero.

Through our Father she learned the meaning of unconditional love in spite of the shame that she felt towards many of her fellow human beings.

It is her every intention to give back to her brother all that he has given to her, and more.
And it is our intention to give back to her children
all that they lost as a result of what happened.
None of this was their or our fault.

We are the survivors of 40 years of the worst case of crimes and discriminations ever committed but we are the richest of all families that will "go down" in history with our memory.

The tears that were shed by all of us are what helped us grow upwards towards Heaven. We indeed made the sacrifices that were asked of us.

It is our hope that those reading this
will have a greater understanding of what we believe life to be about:
the coming together of family in support of each other with
Love, Laughter, Respect, Honor and Joy!
