I still remember the day the world took you back & there was never time to thank you for the thousand scattered moments you left behind to watch us while we slept. -storypeople
There was a time in my life I was certain the hurt would never go away so to wake up this morning and feel peace and gratitude that I had the privilege of knowing him for 16 years is a gift. Seeing his picture now makes me smile at the person he was, at the life he lived. I wish we could have had more time, but since that wasn't in the cards I am extremely grateful for the time we did have, how he changed my life, and to know, for certain, that I will see him again.

I adore the quote. I also love your thoughts on this anniversary. I'm certain these anniversaries never get easier, but I would guess that each year the distance adds peace and clarity.
I love that quote too.

So nicely put Amy...something I needed to read today. Love to you!
This is a beautiful tribute to your brother. Brother's are an extra special gift, and I'm so glad you had him for 16 years, and that you'll have him forever.
