Greetings One & All
I am so relieved that this is finally over. Today was the day we finally said the finally good byes to my recently deceased brother.
I'm feeling numb & relieved & sad & unsure & well, I just don't know. So many emotions, I just don't know anymore.
Aside with dealing with a couple of small issues, I'm almost to the point that I can begin healing.
My childhood family of 5 (Dad, Mom, 2 older brothers & myself) is now down to two!! As I was having dinner with my brother, the realization kinda hit me. It's just me & him now. And it made me very sad. Despite everything through out the years, I always felt that I could go to my family for help. And now...I just don't know.
The memorial itself was interesting. Some humorous stories were shared & laughs were had. I only wanted to strangle my nephew once. I think his favorite word was "Dumbass" & my thought was "Hey Dumbass.....this is a church.....be respectful!!!" It could've been much MUCH worse....but I could've done without that.
As a special tribute to him, we grab some of his t-shirts (he had quite a collection of odd & funny t-shirts) & had a few family pictures taken. And in one of them....I'm almost on the floor laughing!!! LITERALLY!!
I would just like to say how much I appreciate all the love form everyone. I'm not sure how I would've gotten through the last few weeks without the love of my friends!! *hugs* Thank you

It DOES feel like a mix of emotions. You must feel sad, yet kinda happy. Hopefully your brother lived a fulfilling life and now gets to rest well.
Well be here for you. Just like your family.
*hugs*
there will be hard times and tough moments, there always are, but know that we're here for you.
You have always been so kind and thoughtful to everybody, it's an honor to get to do something in return.
we all love you hollie, with all out hearts.
*tight hug*
Now, both sets of grandparent's are gone, both my dad's brother's (one just last month)... so I know the feeling.
Hollie if I could make my arms stretch I'd give you one hell-of-a-hug right now.
Again, my condolences, Hollie.
HUUUUUUGGS
*hugs*
You are dear to us.
Sadly I will not be able to make Furry Fiesta. I won't make it to Wild Nights either this year. But the next time I see you.....sushi is a MUST *hugs*
