A Letter Without an Address
My dear baby brother,
It’s been two and a half years since you drew your final breath
Alone and far away.
I wasn’t able to be there to hold your hand
And ease your passage to the spirit world
But even if I could have managed the flight,
I don’t know if I could have borne the reality that you were forever leaving me,
Moving so much farther away from me than the miles that separated us,
Moving so much further than ever before
To a place I could not reach.
Forgive me for my cowardly response.
I could not bear to see you struck down, mind shattered by a sudden devastating stroke.
I could not bear the reality that you were no longer there
And never would be again.
I hear your voice in my mind sometimes
Accompanied by your jests and laughter
And I miss you terribly
But those visits show me that you are still with me,
That our bond transcends this mortal plane,
And our love endures.
Rest in peace , beloved baby brother.
Till we meet again,
Your devoted sister KathyVoting is closed

Kathy, I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a sibling can be so difficult to deal with, especially since you two had a close relationship. Even though you two aren’t close together anymore, the memories that you have made will be with you for the rest of your life. Stay strong, you can get through this. ♥
