My brother Ghi
So there has been something I've wanted to say but couldn't. It's one reason I really didn't go to Sakura con, except those couple of hours on Saturday.
Last tuesday one of my best friends from highschool, who I and my family considered my brother, died. He had lukemia and died from liver failure. It was quite sudden. He was feeling sick, but he said it just felt like a cold. So he went on the bus to the hospital last Tuesday morning and died later that night. Then they had to keep the body to see what he died from.
I couldn't believe it at first. How could my brother be gone? He's my Ghi. I'm still in shock. I mean he was only 22, like me. He was such a good person and always stuck up for me. He had so much going for him. He touched so many people's lives.
They had a viewing/memorial yesterday and I couldn't even really go up to the casket. It helped then to see his mom and fiance and baby yesterday. His little miracle baby, since they thought he wouldn't be able to have kids after kimo. She kept sticking her tongue out at me, just like her daddy!
Today was the funeral. I was able to put a UNC hat and a group pic with us in the casket before the funeral. That helped me. The church was packed. There were people there that I didn't expect to see from highschool. Although I know that some still don't know or couldn't get off school and other close friends of ours are in Iraq. The funeral was nice and I cried a lot. Then we went downstairs and ate food and talked about Ghi. After that we went to the grave site and stuff. There were a couple more people that showed up there that either couldn't find the church or couldn't make the service. It was more closure to be able to put the rose and dirt on his casket. Although I still feel confused and hurt. But I loved him and I know his suffering is gone now and he is happy and I'll see him again one day. He's my brother and always will be and he left us the gift of his daughter.
