Suppose To Be

Suppose To Be

Thought we'd grow old together, make memories and bicker back and forth like siblings do. Watch each others children grow. Attend graduations, weddings and births. Lean on each other through the deaths and tragedies. Camp in our favorite spots, play hide and seek in the dark. Wild car rides with music blasting. I thought I'd have a lifetime of your unforgetable onory grin and big brother bear hugs. That was how it was suppose to be. Today I reflect on our childhood together. There are some good memories there. I followed you anywhere and wanted to be just like you. Jump ahead to when we both had families. Makes me smile thinking of our children playing together. You asked me to accept your wife and love her like a sister. Guess what brother, I still do. I sure do miss you. But most of all I miss how life was suppose to be.

Thirty-nine-years young is far too soon to meet one's maker, Lori.
I am very sorry you lost your brother, and so young at that.
It sounds as if you were both very close, and rightly so.
This is a lovely tribute and a shining ode to his memory.
Well done.
You have my sympathies.

Thank you.
I wrote a poem titled "True Riches" and dedicated it to my dad.
I think you might like it if you get a chance to take a peek.
Be strong, and thanks again for your thoughtful condolences.
