I Have Lost a Sibling

Not mine but my wife's.

He was my friend I didn't know she was his sister until we were going out. Our friendship got closer in that first year. He truly was becoming a brother to me.

Then one night he's laughing and joking his usual self. He went to bed and simply never woke up.

She was bereft. Lost. Defeated. I thought I'd lose her too. How she got through I'll never know, but years later she fought through seeing me in the worse of an addiction. A special woman that one, special indeed.

I can turn my head a fraction as I write this 36 years later and see that 21 year old smiling out from a picture frame. Oh I miss the years we didn't have together but value the one we did so highly.

What a beautiful tribute! 🤗 I'm at least glad you all shared laughter before he went "home." We none never know when we'll leave this world, it's best if we can be and do the best while we're here. 💫💓

The time that you did spend together, at the end it's all that matters. Life is uncertain but as good life is better than a long life.
Sorry to hear about your loss...

I really liked the way you described her in your last paragraph

So very hard. The family lost out, on a son, a sibling a brother in-law, an uncle to your children. A hole that can never be filled. So sorry for the families loss
