12 March 2010..
A sad day for me. My brother passed away this day very suddenly from a brain aneurysm. He was 45. He left behind his 6 year old daughter and wife , married for 18 years.
I miss him every day....STILL and I suppose I always will. So I will use the day to take photographs, go to the beach which was his favorite place and just think about his life and what he meant to me and smile at the good memories I have. I can't believe it's been a whole year...the time has flown by. I still remember feeling like I would never recover from the massive blow, I still remember feeling this huge suffocating blanket on me, that never seemed to lift. But it did... things did get better, I did stop crying every day, I did stop having bad dreams, I did learn to laugh and smile and be happy again. It took the better part of the year but things are a lot better. I will always miss him, I will always feel that loss, that part of me that is missing.
This photo was taken December 2009, just 3 months before. He was looking so healthy and so well and he was so happy....That's me on the left and my sister Jen on the right...

Hello Bonnie...so sorry I'm just catching up on reading my google reader and saw your heartfelt post. Yes time sure does march on and no know understands the loss of a family member until they have lived it themselves. As we talked before, my Dad passed 5 years ago last Oct. 24th, his birthday was the 25th. SO...my niece had her wedding on his birthday this past Oct. to honor his memory. We all felt like he was there with us and sharing in the joy of the moment even though he physically couldn't be there. Your brother was so young and beautiful and please know that my heart feels so for you and your family on this first anniversary of his passing. All my love, fondly, Roberta
Bonnie, I feel so sorry for your loss and please accept my condolences. I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts.
Thanks for your email even at times like this. I really really appreciate it. It's great to know a friend like you! Sending you my hugs all the way from Malaysia.
