Dear John (BB) - big brother,
It's that time of year again, when you are on my mind a lot. Tomorrow, it will be 6 years since you passed away so tragically and way before your time. Your last 5 years on Earth was a Hell on Earth, and just a downslide after your stroke at only 59. It all seemed so unfair - you were so active and full of life, and had so much left to do - and then to be struck down in your prime. I still feel guilty that I procrastinated for so many years, and never took the time out of my own life and all my family problems, to pay a visit while you were still healthy and full of life. And after your stroke - well - you wouldn't have known I was there anyway - and I just couldn't bear to see you that way. Our bigger brother, or as we dubbed him, "The Old One", was quite upset with me because of my choice of not wanting to see you and remember you that way, but I know that you understand.
So I still have all good memories of you and all the crazy things you said and did. And even tho I wasn't there in person, I cherish all those hours and hours that the 3 of us used to spend on line making good use of IM.And I made up my mind after we lost you, that I would make time for The Old One, and visit him as often as possible, and I have done just that. I can't go back and change the way everything transpired with you, but I can make sure that the same doesn't happen with the only brother I have left.
And I really think that you were called away early to be there for your only son when he was unexpectedly taken only 5 months after you. Somehow, I think you two are having a grand old time, and have found the best place ever, for wings and beer!
Love you and miss you BB,
from BS (baby sister)
