I till this day haven't allowed myself to cry. Can't call me Crybaby on this one.
Half brother to him, meant "Half"....
His Dad died in World War II, he never remembered him.
He was my mom's firstborn, and my Dad loved him, I think best..
He adopted him when he was 3,
Dad having been a veteran of World War II himself
Wanting him to truly feel loved,
 But my brother just kept thinking about,
How different he was from us...he wasn't
He was so much like us, only more talented...
He could play the piano, guitar, harmonica....make them sing...
Sang beautifully too....good enough for records...
He built airplanes,...loved his work...
Was the father of eight, four sons,  four daughters, his youngest son, gay..
Had a hard time accepting that....finally he did, two yrs. before his death.
Been gone now for two years...Congenital Heart Defect like me...
Haven't told mom...she has Alzheimers...we think she knows..
Later that morning, we went to see her, she was crying and kept saying...
I couldn't save him, I tried...but I couldn't save him...
I love you dear brother, and oh how I miss you..................

    Please let it out. It's ok to cry.  It's very hard to loose a loved one. I lost my only brother at 41 years old on August 31,2007. He was diabetic. He checked into the hospital for hernia surgery. Everything was fine first. After three days he developed sepsis, underwent three more surgeries while in intensive care and an induced coma.
    When I got the call about his death, I broke out in tears and some deep, desperate sounds escaped my throat  that seemed to come from the bottom of my soul.
    Over the next months I had no control over my tears. When walking the dogs, I started to cry on the streets. First I was embarrased. But a good friend of mine who is a hospital chaplain ask me to NEVER hold back tears. 
    I buried myself in work creating my very first website. It helped. But whenever I felt tears, I did not keep them back. They are still coming today with periods of sadness that's hard to explain.
    Everybody has his/her way of griefing. But if you feel like crying, please don't hold back your tears.
    It's said that time heals all wounds. I would say that the scars remain forever.

    I don't know what I would do if I lost my brother, he is my confidant.
  • dancingdiva said on Feb 11, 2008....
    The part about your mom having alzheimers made me cry. It is hard to know what they know and don't know.
  • papajack said on Feb 11, 2008....
    I am glad you were able to do this. Sometimes it is a matter of timing. It was time.
  • runningbear said on Feb 11, 2008....
    Just like I miss my sister, sorry for your loss.
  • truthsayer said on Feb 11, 2008....
    Hearts are complicated.  They way we hurt, the pain we hold on to.  It is all important to let it out and let Jesus heal it.  We know who it is that binds up our wounds. 
     
    Your friend,

    Crybabylu :::   It's clear that you and i don't share even remotely the
     
    same views on politics but you sure know how to yank the tears from
     
    me .  As i read your post my thoughts turned to the loss of my 2 older
     
    brothers and the tears just washed down my face like a warm waterfall .
     
    The love you felt for your brother comes thru in every word you type .
     
    I can feel the love and pain even over the great distance between us .
     
    We must accept that death is a part of life , even when it makes no sense ,
     
    and always hold them in our hearts and never be ashamed of the
     
    tears of love that are always close to the surface .  I think i will turn the
     
    t/v off and just remember my brothers , their smiles , their laughter , the
     
    tears we shared during sad times , the rough times and the wonderful
     
    moments we all shared .  Lets all remember the loved ones we once
     
    held close and hug those still with us even tighter .    SAND
