It has been two years since my brother died and I remembered a conversation


Recommended Posts

we had, and what mundane magic it is to be siblings:

 

Me: I'm thinking of a poem about the sea

He: Ummm

Me: By the most famous American poet

He: Frost

Me: The poet Father would call the most famous

He: Longfellow

Me: Yes

He: The Wreck of the Hesperus

My brother died when he was 13 and I was 15. I miss him every day. I think that's why I had so many children (and what luck: boys!) Each memory of him is like a polished stone. I wish I had more to hold in my hands. We didn't share Voltaire; our memories are more of Happy Days episodes and Disco roller skating and snowball fights. And plans. We had plans.

 

Anyway, I am so sorry for your loss. Very.

Oh, you brought tears to my eyes with that wonderful memory!

 

I lost my sister 10 years ago and every so often a memory of a long ago conversation with her will randomly come to mind and make me smile (and miss her).

 

May your memories of your brother help comfort you (you too, Yellowperch) :grouphug:
