    Brother, I’m happy you picked me to be there to be the strong one to take care of you. But a part of my heart had died when you took your last breath. I’m not dealing very well with losing you so soon. But you knew it was time. You said your peace to each sibling. And I’m happy you did that. I want you to know brother that your wishes did happen. You passed peacefully in your sleep. And you are resting with mom now. I took care of it all and I know you are proud of me. I cant mourn not just yet because I’m not ready to let go of you. I love you so much brother behind closed doors I break down but no one sees that side of me. I’m the strong one and will continue to be the strong one. You will always be with me. Always. You and I have so many happy memories going back so so far and we would reminisce all the time. I cant come to terms of you being gone. But I have some peace knowing you passed the way you wanted and your at ge est were you wanted. I know your up there with mom and zues on your lap. I love you brother. Wait for me!!!
