My brothers birthday

[peanutz]

Today is my big brothers birthday, he would have been 56 today. I think of my mother, and what she must be feeling today... Maybe remembering the birth pangs of a premie, her first born. Holding him in her arms, and vowing that no harm would ever come to him. I know, that is what I did with the birth of my children. That overwhelming love, that

The Love of a Sibling

[inayah_az]

Loss is so hard to deal with. It doesn't matter if its your sibling, parent, close relative, or friend. I lost my grandmother that I lived with all of my life. She died in my arms at the age of 102. That was four years ago. Sometimes I can remember her and my heart doesn't bleed. Sometimes I remember her and the tears start. I had a friend once that died. He was only 21. He told me that even though people go we should not be sad for them. Yes they are not here physically, but they are here in our memories and those will never die. They are in a better place doing better things. We grieve for them because we are human. We miss them because we are human. When you talk to your brother and father they hear you. When its your time they will be there. They aren't gone, they just aren't here physically. Today your brother comforts you with his memory. And you may just get an answer when you talk to him. Something as simple as the brush of what you think is a breeze against your cheek. He is there he is not gone. It is a true blessing that our faith teaches us that we will all be together some day.
