Happy Birthday to my brother. I lost him three years ago. We were very close and it is still difficult without him. I really miss our talks. But I have tons of memories in my heart. Birthdays were never a big deal for him but I would always make him a cake and make a big deal out of his birthday. He would always tell a joke or do something to make sure I was smiling and laughing if he were here. So in honor of him I will put on a happy face. Until we meet again.
Savor all the moments you have with your loved ones.
I missed this back then, sorry, Carol, thank you for sharing your precious memories of him.
It seems odd that I would have missed then. Perhaps wasn’t not as involved then.
Brothers are always loving
Hugs to you, Carol <3 To simply say sorry isn't enough. You are a strong, beautiful lady and a great bringer of light, even though you've been through so much. That's the true mark of a beautiful soul <3 We are blessed to have you here. You are always an awesome inspiration! I hope you had a decent day celebrating the life of your brother.
How kind of you to say this Windy. I feel my purpose now is to reach out and help others. Again thank you for your support. My day was decent. Now today another tough one. But life goes on.
I’m sorry for your loss and for all the losses you had to go through, Carol! At lest you have these special memories with him.
Yes Ellie the memories are what keep me going. Thank you.
Openness and courage to share things like this is what I mean…
It is healing for me to keep the memories alive.
Sorry for your loss.Stay strong and be happy, Carol!
Thank you Branka, one step at a time.
Sorry for your loss… he’ll be in a good place and your heart.
I’ve to say how brave you’re, staying strong after so much have happened to you, I believe you’ll only get stronger and better!!!
Stay strong and be happy, Carol!!
Thank you for your kindness alibb. Some days I don’t know why I am even still here. But other days when I can help someone I realize maybe that is the reason. Thanks again.
Your meaningful posts and beautiful photos definitely puts smiles on faces, at least they did for me 🙂
Aww thank you for saying that, I really appreciate it. 🙂
You are correct that we all should remember the great times we had with our loved ones before they passed away.
Absolutely, I could not survive without memories.
You are correct CarolDM.
Sorry for your loss. Have comfort in knowing that in the resurrection you will see your brother again.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your kind words.
And thanks for your creativity. It keeps me coming.
I’m sorry for your loss…I am only child so I can’t even imagine what losing a sibling would be like. Thank you for sharing
I lost both siblings and parents, and my son. Life is difficult sometimes Courtney.
Thank you for your kind comments.
Oh wow, that would be so hard to go through… life definitely can be difficult at times. I’ve only lost 1 close family member and that was hard enough…
It is very trying at times no doubt, but I keep putting one foot in front of the other. I suppose I am still here for a reason. 🙂
They will always be missing us. But he believes I’m glad when we remember them with a smile
Thank you my friend, I am sure he knows.
