I haven’t talked about this publicly yet, but we lost my brother recently. He was diagnosed with stage four recto-colon cancer about 13 months before he died. He had the best treatment, but it wasn’t enough.
Please, get your colonoscopies on schedule!
Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.
― Jamie Anderson
The pics are of us in early 1974.
We hadn’t been close in years, and we didn’t always get along (what siblings do?), but he was still my little brother. There is a hole in my heart now.
