I Miss My Big Bro

©  Lora Sedell
From day one,
without knowing it,
I loved you with all my heart.
As I grew older I looked up to you and to no other.
Yes, we fought many of times but you supported,
and encouraged me in everything I did.
You were my best friend and my hero.
At night I miss the sound of your music,
I miss you climbing through the window when you were late.
I miss your comfort and the way you made me feel safe.
I miss our nonsense arguments and all our wrestling matches just to pass time.
I like to remember our times together good times and the bad.
I regret the times I yelled at you when you were only trying to help,
but you know I only did it because you did it to me.
I wanted to do everything you did,
because I wanted to JUST like you!
I miss your smile,
and I miss the way our room smelt of your cologne.
But most of all I miss your reassuring hugs and playful kisses.
I wish I could go back and tell you how I felt,
tell you that I really need you no matter what I said.
I kept your favorite sweater and wear it every time I miss you
like I did when I was little.
I will always love you no matter how long its been,
since the day your life came to an end.
I miss my big brother.
R.I.P Chris 1/8/90 - 1/4/04

Hey umm I really like this poem I started to cry as I read it. I lost my brother in February this year and this really touched my heart and the freaky thing about it is my brothers name is Chris to. this poem reminds me so much of the one I wrote for his funeral. I know what your going through and I hope you are ok and taking care of yourself. but remember what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.. take care

I lost my brother about two weeks ago on January 1st due to a car accident along with my uncle. My brother was my older brother I feel like I have lost a parent. I am 18 and he was 21. This poem really got to me, I wish I had of found it for his funeral.

Hi my name is Terri. I am the second eldest of 6 siblings. My older brother died of cancer on May 7, 2007 when he was 46. I am going to be 46 on May 14, 2009. This has been something hard for me to deal with....I miss him more than anything. He was truly my HERO and best friend. No one knows what I am going through when these happen. Sometimes they think I dwell on his passing too much. Your poem is beautiful and reminded so much of my older brother. Thank you for sharing.

Hi. my big brother Chris passed away on Feb 20th of 2008. Today is his birthday! its so hard to go on without him and I really don't know how but I'm doing it. I loved the poem.

Hello, my heart is with you. I lost my brother one month ago. It was a gruesome death he was caught and sandwiched in a machine of a chicken factory he had been working. I feel like I would never ever find peace again. It's hard for me to accept because he was so kind to me and I never even had the chance to say goodbye and tell him that I care and love him. I wish that I would see him again.

This poem has really touched me because I recently lost my big brother to a car accident.. He was about to graduate and he had so much going for him. I just still can't believe he's gone. And also 2 weeks ago I lost a classmate Michael, he and my brother were good friends ,and Michael was like a brother to me also. So its been really hard for our Families and our school has really been affected we've lost two major people. And it hurts so badly I just wish I could see them again.

hi my name is Halley Marie I am 16 and I lost my brother three months ago on. He died when he was 17. I know how you feel because I am going thru it right now and I miss my big brother so much.

halley Posted on Friday, July 31, 2009

My youngest son misses his big brother too... (and I miss my son!!)
This poem touched my heart.
Micheal was 18 when he died 8 years ago and we are as past it as we will ever be. That hollow feeling never leaves.
Bless you.

Cynthia Posted on Wednesday, September 23, 2009

This story, touched me,, I'm 14, and my brother died 4 months ago, he hung himself, and the day I found out I will never forget, he was 35 and I was his littlest sister, thank you for sharing the poem. Xxx

kass Posted on Saturday, October 24, 2009

I could not have said this better!
Its been a little over eight years for me and I still miss my brother so dear. The good times and the bad.
I have no regrets, after he died as I know I spent all the time with him I could have, he was always there for me and me for him, but it doesn't not change the fact that I am very empty without him, my pillar of strength when I needed it! My comfort and my best friend is gone, but forever will remain in my heart. His memory will forever live on, I will never forget my only brother.
