One year ago today my youngest brother died.
I'm still having a hard time dealing with it.
It was simply too short of a journey for him.
And it sucks to be the one left behind, guys.
Update: Chickie suggested providing more info about my brother and that period of time. Take a look at these entries: There's Always A Reason For Silence , Time Flies..., and Once there were three.
About Me
- Wil
- Well past (by at least a decade) the half century mark. One foot in the grave, the other on a banana peel at the rim of the abyss and the view from here is disconcerting. I am a former student, pearl diver, cook, truck driver, firefighter, EMT, CEO, Town Fire Warden, mechanic, oiler, marine engineer and computer whiz bang. Mostly I sleep these days in an aluminum tube. And So It Goes... I waste my time reading blogs and kvetching about the weather, playing with our Schipperke sidekick, Ignatz McGraw and waiting hand by foot upon my wife, the Queen of our Hovel, She Who Must Be Obeyed (SWMBO).

I'm sorry to hear about your brother. It's hell to lose anyone we love, but someone younger...it's just tougher, somehow.
I recall that time; you took a little leave of absence from blogging, I believe. I'm sorry for your loss.
Wil, I can't imagine losing one of my siblings at this point; it feels like we're all too young (maybe that's just me with rose-coloured glasses on). I'm sorry you lost your little brother. I didn't read you at the time so don't know much about him, maybe you could tell us a bit about him if it wouldn't be too painful?
Wil, thanks for the links; I just went and read all three - the Bangor Daily News Obit is still there and from the sounds of it, your brother and I would've gotten along just fine. Don't know if it's inappropriate to like something in someone's obit, but the line "As a flaming, floating, funeral pyre is out of the question in this day and age" was great I thought. He sounds like he was a hell of a guy. I'm sorry you lost your bro.
Sorry Wil. I am sure that it isn't easy for you:(
You know, Wil, they say that it's supposed to get easier as time goes by. I think there are some losses that just never get easier.
Hope you're taking good care of yourself.
