Where to start??? So many things have happened since March 11th. Do I write about my euro trip, my recent business venture or "national sibling day"? I plan on getting to all but I'm writing today because National Sibling Day reached about and grabbed me... Or maybe it grabbed my heart? Ether way it encouraged me to write. Something I'm not amazing at but from time to time feel neccessary.
I usually shy away from this subject, just due to the fact it makes everyone else uncomfortable but here we go!
Today, I am writing for the community I've become apart of that no one signs up for. People that have lost siblings due to an untimely death. This is a holiday most people take for granted. For me and many others it's a day that gives you that feeling in your stomach that you have a managed to oppress for months but still comes around Christmas, Thanksgiving, Mother's Day, etc. And all of the sudden BAM it's there and it hurts. You miss not only your old life but you miss your old family unit, especially your parents and the bond you had with your oldest and best friend, your sibling. For me it was my big brother. He was the person that inadvertently taught me how to be me. The purpose of his life was so much grander than he ever knew. Sometimes I look back and think "wow, how did I not know his life was going to be short?" It was so full of purpose at every turn. There were crazy things he accomplished in his life. From traveling to 48 states in 27 short years to producing a little human being that has managed to clean up the mess he left behind in two short years. Whatever the purpose of his life may be, I know it's great.
I'm not writing this to bring attention to my loss and my hurt. I am writing this to let everyone in my "club" know I am with you today.
Sending love to my big brother today. Thank you for being you and no one else!
