My heart is heavy and my footsteps slow as I head into this weekend, for I am burying my big brother.
My only brother.
My brother and my niece about 14 years ago.
This wasn’t the way it was supposed to happen. It should be another forty years before I take these steps, before my heart shatters like this.
I wasn’t prepared for how hard this would be, even though I knew it was coming. I’ve known for 15 years that he would die, that this incurable cancer would kill him, and there were several times when we thought it was close. But he always rallied. Amazingly. He faced everything with a positive attitude and summoned the will to Not Ever Give Up.
My brother was a BAMF when it came to cancer.
My brother was amazing.
And I can’t quite fathom the world without him.
I love you. And he loved you.
I love you, too. He was incredibly lucky to find you, Trina. Immeasurably lucky. <3
Every word I could say sll. The pain losing a brother is like a knife in ones soul that twist slowly at every memory. Our childhood so wrapped with them…I lost 2 brothers, older and my youngest. The oldest to cancer and cancer is so awful. It’s okay to not be strong, to break down and cry whenever it hits you. This large piece of you is gone. It is okay to feel anyway you do feel.
Words seem so meaningless…I’m so sorry for your loss.
Healing thoughts to you and your family,
