Nothing worse then out living your child.<BR/>You're right,the feeling of loss never totally goes away. <BR/> I tried to fill my brothers place in my heart for many years,only to realize that nobody could fill the space..duh! <BR/>I do at times feel cheated,and holidays are tough. But on the up side, I feel so blessed to have even had Bobby in my life at all.<BR/><BR/>A mixed bag, I guess.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Mare for sharing that part of your life with me.

When I was a senior in high school, just weeks before graduation, my 21 year old brother Tommy who was in the Navy, was killed in a helicopter accident. It was very difficult to grasp, and watch my mother go thru that, and even though 42 years have passed, it never totally goes away. I've always felt that I was cheated out of sharing our life stories, getting together at holidays, etc. So, Peggy, we are kindred spirits again.Marehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10392772375911488097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578874697160208604.post-28586453800282185502009-04-06T11:58:00.000-05:002009-04-06T11:58:00.000-05:00This brought tears to my eyes too, and it was writ...This brought tears to my eyes too, and it was written so beautifully.

It is heartbreaking I know to have lost him, but in my heart I feel you have found him again, just as you said and you'll never be separated again. So, I'll dry my tears and smile with and for you both.

I remember reading this poem as a child and never quite truly understanding the feeling behind it. <BR/><BR/>Your beautiful post gave that poem a whole new depth and understanding to me. I do remember your telling me about your brother. I know how close you were to him. I really think he's been watching over you all these years. I ache for your mother and what she must have gone through at that time also. It must have felt good to name your first born after him.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578874697160208604.post-32056406002970582052009-04-04T19:04:00.000-05:002009-04-04T19:04:00.000-05:00Thanks Kay D.I'm glad you liked it too.

What a sweet sad poem, for everyone loyal to a lost child.<BR/><BR/>My mother had a favourite brother, close to her in age, and they were best friends. He died when they were teenagers; I only saw my mother cry five times in my life, and three times were for him, all those years later. Now that she's gone too I like to think of them together again, raising fun and trouble wherever they go.<BR/><BR/>God bless you and Bobby, and all the gifts he gave you!Susan at Stony Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10385202649291774852noreply@blogger.com
