The following post was stolen from my Mom's blog. I wanted to post it on mine because there are people who read my blog that don't read my Mom's. It is a poem written by my little sister in remembrance of our brother, Roger on the anniversary of his death. The poem touched me deeply, as did the death of my brother.
I hope that it touches the hearts of all who read it. Roger was 44 years old, when he died.
I vowed at that time not to let time get away from me again. Rogers' death was a sad reminder of how important family is. Of how much we share in this world and how much we truly need one another.
I want my family, my Mom, my sister, Beth, my Step-dad, Eddy, my brother, Frankie, my children and my grand-children to know how much I love them all.
I had not seen Roger for many years and had just begun to get to know him again, when he was taken from me. I grieve for all those lost years, when we could have been a family. I squandered them on resentment. I could not let go of the past. I don't ever want to suffer those feelings of grief again. Knowing in my heart that I had the ability to change things. The means to make things right between us.
To my friends, my wish for you is that you will find that place where love survives.
Hold close to your heart those whom you care about.
Let them know.
Before you lose them and never again have the chance.
