A Letter To My Brother:To my dear, sweet, little brother,You had dreams and you had the courage to pursue those dreams. You went after them. I learned so much from you little brother. I just wanted to say, “Thank You”, thank you for showing me what strength was in the face of adversity. I watched you fight and survive the most terrible of beast. You gave your all and every punch that it gave you. You got back up again. I watched in utter amazement as you emerged victoriously every time. You came back smiling. Donald, I will miss you forever. Just saying goodbye hurts more than anything. Since you left, there is a big gaping hole in my life. I will always miss your smiles, your laughter, your dancing and off-key singing. Peace be unto you my dear sweet little brother. I know you were tired of that hospital bed. I saw it in your face every time I walked in that room. I knew you wanted out. It pained me that I couldn’t take you out. Now little brother, you are free, free to roam among the stars and the universe. Donald, God loved you and there is no doubt in my mind that you are not with Him now. Peace, my little brother and sweet dreams.
