This last week and a half has been one of the most DIFFICULT for my family and it continues still. I never imagined the PAIN of losing a brother- my ‘lil brother.
I hadn’t even been able to take time to thank every one who offered condolences, brought food, necessities, sent a card, flowers, donations, shared your similar story especially with my parents, but most importantly and most needed – PRAYERS!
These words aren’t strong enough to express my gratitude. But I want people to know, as soon, as I am able, I will wholeheartedly offer everyone up in prayer for their good deeds. Right now, I hope my whispered prayer, which lies beneath this pain and emptiness, is enough.
I don’t have a great story of my brother and myself, but I know he protected me as I had always imagined a big brother would do. I could never sing as extraordinary as he did, but I admired and was in awe of his talent and stage presence. Even singing around the family table was incredible. I’ve talked to him since his passing but I haven’t reached the peace I so desperately need right now. This will take time and I know it will be in God’s time.
I trust God’s plan and I know my brother’s life had a great purpose in so many people’s life. So our grief and mourning are not selfish because my brother gave his heart and love to everyone he encountered and he WILL be missed. With this thought I find comfort.
Rest in peace ‘lil brother.
