My older brother passed away Jan. 8th [Spirituality & Religion]

My oldest sibling, my only brother. I miss him.
I can just see him standing next to Mum and Dad on the "loftiest mount".
I cry but I experience a profound peace and joy.


O my God! O Thou forgiver of sins, bestower of gifts, dispeller of afflictions!
Verily, I beseech Thee to forgive the sins of such as have abandoned the physical garment and have ascended to the spiritual world.
O my Lord! Purify them from trespasses, dispel their sorrows, and change their darkness into light. Cause them to enter the garden of happiness, cleanse them with the most pure water, and grant them to behold Thy splendors on the loftiest mount.

[b][c=#BF0080]Thank you all. [/c][/b]He was a good man, a great father of 3 special needs (autistic) children. A business man and entrepreneur. Owned 3 houses at one time. Flipped one so our mother could live near him. When she passed, he sold it. Sold the largest one. Lived in the one nearest to us when we moved into NC. 4 months on May 8th. I miss him everyday. He was my best friend and I didn't realize that until he went into Hospice in October...and then in the Hospital or rehab since then, he never went back to his home. He passed peacefully after having a manicure and pedicure given to him by his devoted, loving wife, my dear sister in law. Like washing Jesus' feet before his burial. Thank you for reading; letting me share. I have one younger sister; the one that marches to the beat of a different drum. My brother and I were closer; my sister, not close to either of us but we love and care for her and she has estranged herself from me since remarrying in another state. Thanks again....💐
