I too lost my brother almost 6 years ago. He was roughly 6 years older than me, and it baffles me to think that at 26 I've nearly outlived my only sibling. That poem pretty much sums it up. There were bad times, good times, and great times. I miss him every day. Part of me has been missing ever since, but i rest assured that he's looking out for me to this day. A brother is a wonderful thing to have, and those of you who have siblings should never hesitate to tell them that you love them. Kudos to you Mr. Beckom, that is a beautiful ode. Here's to brothers, raise a glass, pour one out,whatever. Never take for granted today what could be gone tomorrow.
As long as you keep him in your heart he can never be truly gone brother. Lost my dad 2 years ago miss him every day. He always wanted to take a trip on the boat with me but the timing never worked out. Then all to soon it was to late. Now I take his ashes to the boat with me.
I havent lost my brother but we havent talked since 1999 (his choice not mine) but i did lose my mom 17 years ago (when i was 14). Miss her and think about her everyday. i know she is up there watching over me but its saddens me that she will never get to meet my son.
