My 73-year-old, bigger-than-I-am little brother died a little less than an hour ago. He's at peace.

Everything that needed to be said between us had been said. The last time I spoke to him I told him I loved him, that I hated losing him, but that it was okay to let go.

I think he heard me--he opened his eyes a little.

Thank all of you for your prayers and support.

I think I can rest tonight, knowing that he's at peace at last.

You have my sincere condolences for the loss of your brother. It's good that you got things said before he passed. Many times we don't get the chance to do that, or we don't take advantage of the opportunity when we should.

I know the importance of this because I was a hyper active child and I gave my mother a lot of trouble. No meanness or malice just a lot of pent up energy that I didn't know what to do with. But the last time I saw her I told her that I loved her and that I appreciated all her sacrifices and all she tried to do for me and teach me. I told her that I would always keep her in my heart. She smiled up at me and touched my cheek and softly whispered, "I know".

I am awash with relief and peace of mind knowing that I did that. I know that you are sad right now. I'm sad for you and for your family but you will have that peace of mind and with that comes the acceptance we all need when we lose someone.

God bless..........
 
Sorry for your loss Prayers and Condolences. He heard you and knows you love him. I never had the chance to say good by to my big brother when he died at 56 years, many ago.

He is on the path we will all travel and be waiting for you when you arrive for the grand reunion.

Revelation 21:4 ESV
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."
