To the brother I never knew in this life time, I can't express the deep remorse that I feel in not knowing you. We were raised separately by our parents, hardly realizing that the other one existed. I have so few vague memories of seeing you when I was very little. We were so alike when we were young - blonde, blue eyed, with stubborn independent spirits. When Mom had her brain tumor surgery and lost most of her long term memories, you were lost to me. After searching for many years, I managed to discover the family where you grew up in Florida. They got to share times together that we should have had a chance to have so I couldn't help but be a little jealous. Our half-sister gave me your Army photo. It was the only picture I would have of you as an adult. I put it in a frame with Mom and Dad's photos on either side of you. My family together for the first time. I often wonder who you were, why you entered into military service, and of all your accomplishments in this life. To this day, I still don't know who your wife was or if you had any children. There are times when my mind travels to your last moments on Earth. It shatters my soul to think of what you endured yet I couldn't be any prouder of you. Thanks for the great sacrifice that you made for all of us. Hal, my brother, you will never be forgotten. I can't love you any more than if we had spent every moment of our lives together. I will carry a part of you in me because our spirits are eternally one.
Your loving brother, |
