My daughter was murdered at the age 17.
The poem you wrote to your brother is very good and it's some of what is in my heart. But my daughter left a little piece of her here. She had had a baby girl and by the grace of god I have her now. I love and miss her everyday and my heart will never be the same. It's as a piece missing. Thank you for writing the poem.

WOW...as I sit here leaving you this message, I can't stop crying because its almost 20 years since my brother was taken from our family and brutally murdered (his killers never captured)
I know he knew we loved him. We were a very close family. But to just be able to say it to him again....
Thanks so much for touching my heart...you see March, April, and May is the time frame of my sadness as this is the time that it all happened to our family almost 20 years ago.
God Bless you for blessing me.

I want to thank you for sharing this beautiful poem with the world. I just recently lost my older brother in a car accident on February 5th 2010, he was only 23. I love him so much and I miss him more everyday. This poem has helped me find strength and sanity in those moments when all of mine has been stolen by grief. And when I read this poem I can feel him with me, and I get strength from that. I can't thank you enough for this blessing of a poem.

I am sooo sorry Hun. I can relate, but I can't say I know how you feel, we all feel different.. I Lost my brother at age 7, he was 6. he was hit by a car. I was the only one who saw it happen. It was in cohoes where all the apartments in a line are, there's a soccer field across I think... haven't been there in 8 years, I'm only 15, but I'm still effected by it, and he will always be in mine, and our family's hearts. RIP Luis (Mikey) Lind Oct. 3rd 1995-May 30th 2002...

I totally relate to how everyone feels. my brother died 23rd march 2008 in a car crash, and it feels like it was just yesterday. I never got the chance to ever tell him I loved him, I guess these are little things we take for granted... and we only realize it later. this is a great poem. thank you!! miss you so much David!!

I am sorry for your loss. I lost my brother Johnny on January 18, 2010, he was my protector, my strength and my friend. He was only 45, I'll miss every day of my life, we were close and talked at least once if not several times a day. You are right , we will go on and they will live in us giving them life and with each day we grow closer to seeing them. Breathing in and out is so hard and the why's won't go away. I lost my middle brother 13 years ago and John and I promised to be here always for one another. I just cannot make sense of this he was killed by another.
I was one of three now I am just one.

On 3/11/01 my youngest brother was murderd in a club which he help to maintain. I will still mourning the death of my mother. The news came that my brother had been shot. I rushed to the hospital only to find him covered in blood and dead. I could not believe that my baby brother was gone. He was a decent man hard worker good with his hands and would help any one in need. That pain is so hard, still, pain feels like it happened today. So this poem hit home. I love that man so much. It's a star poem in my book.

This poem has truly touched my heart. I lost my baby brother on Friday 1st January 2010. He was only 22 years too. It is so heartbreaking to be still alive and bury your own younger sibling. I regret very much for not telling him how much I loved him and how much he mean to me. He never knew and that's what hurts the most. Goodbye my dearest loving brother KB.

I lost my brother-in-law March 29th 2007 the same day as the brother in this poem. He had Cystic Fibrosis, he was only 27 years old. We all miss him very dearly. He was a very outgoing loving person. He loved Farming and riding his four-wheeler. We will always have him in our hearts and memories..we miss you "Joey"

My brother Glenn also died in a car accident, he was 26. It was two weeks after my 17th birthday. I was supposed to drive for him that night. His car flipped fifty feet into a swamp. It landed upside down. I went to sleep at 4 a.m. and I was woken up at 6 a.m. by my uncle who told me that my brother was dead. I cried for so long, I couldn't believe he was gone. I never got the chance to tell him how much I loved him or even to say goodbye. It's been 4 years since he died, the pain doesn't go away. I'd do anything to have him back.

I lost my cousin last year, she was full of life. Shiny and sparkly like a rainbow in the cloud. Born to amuse, to inspire and to put smiles in the faces of people around her. WE Miss you! Thou you are gone, we will still keep memories of you. You were wonderful, fun to be with and nice. We miss you! I wish that you were here to celebrate together. I wish that we can spend the holidays together. Its so sad that I can only wish. Its so sad to know that you are gone forever.
We miss you!

When I found this poem on here, I read it and just broke down. April 25th 2009 will be 1 year that I lost my brother Denny. He passed away after having a massive heart attack. He was only 36 years old. This poem brought not only tears to my eyes, but a warmness to my heart. It is sooo true. I want to thank you from my heart for writing this. Missy
