I have been putting off this post, trying to come to terms with emotions and everything else that pops up when you have a death in the family.... I didn't have to go through the pain and Chemo and loss of my dignity, so I have no reason to be angry or anything else, but that doesn't seem to help.
Watching my brother remain positive and trying his hardest to beat that awful time in his life, has made me realize, once again, that life is short. I have spent too much time finding the things that aren't right, and passing by the things that are beautiful. I'm sure we all get caught up in our lives, one way or another. I just want to be better at seeing the truly wonderful things that happen in our every day happenings.
He was a great example to me. He was a kind, loving, humble person. He worked hard to make a wonderful life for his wife and himself. He was a great friend and everyone loved him. He is going to be missed by sooooo many people. Not only that, but his animals are going to miss the love and attention he gave them. He just always had a knack for animals. He just knew what to do to help them. He and Terry have adopted animals that have been abandoned and shot and even the wild animals would come to their house when they called. It was amazing.
There is going to me a memorial for him in a week. I think it is going to be more like a celebration of his life. He is gone from this earth, but he will remain in the hearts of many, many people.
I know, "Life must move on".. I will try to make my life more meaningful from this minute on. Then maybe all the people who have gone on before will not have been here in vain. He is now with my dad, brother and sister. I'm sure they are glad to see him, but, we will miss him and we miss them.
The cure for cancer is out there somewhere, I hope they find it soon.
