🎂
Dear Baby Brother,
Yesterday was your birthday. I didn’t forget. I can never forget. I don’t know why it was so hard. Birthdays are a celebration of another year of life. While I am so grateful for our time together, it really bothered me not to be able to celebrate here on this plane with you. No one ever thinks that life can be so short. It is something you see on a television or movie screen or read in a book or magazine. But to have that be your reality is unimaginable.
Every milestone birthday brings the realization that not only will you not be celebrating but reinforces that you’re not here. They say never to question the “Why” because we can never know. For me it’s a reminder of all the moments wasted & the memories that will never be made. I find myself sending a compromise into the universe to let us have more years of hugs. I hope you knew that I love you. That even though I was so caught up on my own shit, that I loved you. I’m sorry that working took priority over spending time because now all I see is missed opportunity.
I hope that wherever you are you know that you are loved. And while the years on the calendar changes & I get a lil older, my wish to sit on the floor playing Tonk & eating donuts with Baby Vicky sitting in our laps is forever.
Happy Birthday Baby Brother,
Me
