this candle burns for you

Gary, this candle burns for you.

Dearest Little Brother:

It seems as if every day that passes makes my heart ache more than I thought possible the day before. The reality of you never coming to see me, asking me for favors, pressing your lips to mine as you say goodbye. Who do I share my childhood memories with now? Who will remember all the good times and bad times? I keep expecting something to happen and for you to be coming through the door. The only comfort that surrounds me is knowing you were saved and that you are with Jesus now. I think about you every night as I lie down and every morning as I rise from my sleep, I need you so much. We all do. Momma and Daddy love and miss you, it is all we can do to keep going. I love you baby.

 

Little Brother,
I do not have to wish to feel your warm embrace
Every breeze brings your arms to my side and your kiss to my face
I do not have to see your picture to envision your smile,
For in my dreams, you visit for awhile
I no longer worry if you are safe from lifes harms,
Though my flesh cries for you, I know you are secure in God's arms
I look at the passing hands of the clock each day,
I wonder when we can again run through the fields and play
 
Love your Big Sis
