Today is a particularly hard day because it was my brother’s
birthday, it was actually our
birthday, the day which we mutually (and not always willingly) shared. Here I am now, unwillingly without him, on
our birthday. Today also marks 5 months
since his death which is an unreal feeling to be honest. Sometimes, in brief and serene moments of
life, I will actually forget that he’s gone.
Then a trigger reminds me and it hurts all over again.
I wanted to do something nice for my brother on this day and
so, since it also happens to be Give STL Day, I donated in his memory to a
couple of places. It’s a little thing,
seems insignificant, doesn’t really make me feel any better but it’s something. Somewhere out there someone will see “In
Memory of…” and even though they don’t know my brother, they’ll think of him
during that brief moment and know that someone loves and misses him.
Happy Birthday Dusty.
