#brotherStew and Lincoln, #satoDog

Stew is my older brother. He has had mental and physical disabilities since birth.

Since last summer, he has been living with my younger sister. My brother Jeff and I take turns hosting him on weekends.

His physical limitations have been exacerbated with age, it's heartbreaking to see.

He is a gentle spirited soul who will happily tell stories about the old days. He likes to work a jigsaw puzzle, a word search, or flip through the pages of a magazine.
