The Best Big Brother
We not only lost a brother, we lost a beautiful gentle soul. Although our big brother came into this lifetime intellectually disabled, he taught us so much. He demonstrated courage everyday by bravely navigating situations that were uncomfortable for him. He taught us patience and empathy by seeing the world through his eyes. He was always full of surprises. A favorite memory was the time he proudly announced “hey I’m brain damaged and even I knew that!” And when he would quietly observe a situation and come out with some profound remark. We were always amazed at how he could recall the smallest details of our childhood and take joy in telling these stories. Our hearts are breaking. Another beautiful soul has returned to the universe. Fly free big brother You will live in our hearts forever.
