RE: Brother

Dear Brother;
I miss you every day. You've been gone for 15 months, but the pain from your passing hasn't really lessened. Every day I think of you, every moment that I stop and try to see life from your perspective, I can't help but wish you were here.
You were always there, backing me up, no matter what. You helped me when I needed it, you understood when I needed space, you were there to listen if I needed someone to talk to and you were the only person I felt like I could talk to.
Every time you cross my mind, my heart hurts. I can't understand why the Universe took you away so soon. It wasn't meant to end the way it did. Maybe you were on the Universe's dance card, maybe you were needed elsewhere. But all of that only leaves little comfort. Your family you left behind still mourns and misses you, aches with the absence of your laugh and love, and wishes for something, anything, to change it all.
You made an impact on so many lives. You were a part of mine for only 8 years, but 8 years was long enough for me to receive the gifts you were meant to leave me with. I will forever cherish the gifts and the moments of happiness and comfort that you brought. And with those, your legacy will live on, through me, through us... your family. Those who are left behind and will never let your memory be forgotten.
May peace find you, brother, wherever you are.
