Born in two bodies
Yet with a union so close
They were of one mind
A love of this kind
Survives death of the body
Or loss of reason
~Koni~
Koni's Notes:
Angus Young (L) was the first person to notice that something was amiss with Malcolm Young (R) when the bright and hyper-organized Malcolm began to become disorganized and forgetful. Angus covered for his brother, at first helping him remember things that needed to be done, and eventually covering for Malcolm during performances when he would miss chords from songs that he'd written himself.
Before Malcolm lost the ability to remember what he had done during his life or even the ability to recognize the people he was closest to including the brother who seemed to be the other half of his own soul, he told Angus to keep making music. Not long afterwards, it became necessary to place him in a long term care facility.
It is my belief that a bond like this one survives even death, be it of mind or body. Not everyone is fortunate enough to know the reflection of their soul. Such a reflection is not always romantic; as in this case, the reflection is platonic and/or filial. In any case, such a union is to be treasured. It can never be destroyed.

ReplyDeleteThank you, on behalf of Koni. :-)
DeleteVery moving response to the prompt.
ReplyDeleteKind thanks, on behalf of Koni. :-)
DeleteThanks, Koni for sharing such breathtaking story! How amazing that there was this close one who could cover in possible and impossible ways! Blessings to the team and intention to honor your friend! x
ReplyDeleteThank you humbird, on behalf of Koni. It's a bittersweet story. There's so much of both love and heartbreak in it. Neither of them deserve to be living this nightmare, but they do deserve each other.
DeleteI too believe the bond lives even after death..such a heartbreaking story..I hope you keep the music alive.
ReplyDeletePeace and light
Kind thanks, Truedessa. It's a horrific story. This man so did not deserve what has happened to him. He was fortunate to have someone to love him as much as his brother does, but horrible that he now can't even remember.
DeletePoor Mal, of course, but also, poor Angus. This must be absolutely heartbreaking to him--like losing half of his own soul. They always were super close. You don't see that very often. I know I'd die inside if something like this happened to Adam.
ReplyDeleteAngus always did give off a protective vibe when it came to Malcolm. Woe betide the person stupid enough to mess with Angus' brother--they'd be in a world of hurt.
It's like you and me--if anything ever happened to you, I wouldn't want to live any more! I <3 my big sis! Anyone messes with you, they have to deal with me!
DeleteI feel really bad for Mal and Angus too. :-(
