Missing you....

I feel like I would be remiss if I didn't take this opportunity to write about someone very special to me. You see, 5 years ago today, I lost my younger brother Kyle to a car accident. It's hard to believe that so much time has passed. They say time heals all wounds. There's a lot of truth to that. But, you never forget about them. You just learn to live life in a different way and honor their memory.




























Kyle was 15 months younger than me and we were very close growing up. Mom dressed us like twins half of the time. We did everything together. Naturally, we fought like brother and sister, too.






















He was truly hilarious. He marched to the beat of his own drum. He knew how to make you crazy then charm your socks off. He was confident and comfortable in his own skin. People were attracted to him. He knew how to push the envelope. I could tell a thousand stories that would endear you to him.



















My life was forever changed 5 years ago. There has been much pain, sadness and tears shared by many of us left behind. But, I have hope because I'll see him again. Out of all the bad things, there have been many good things, too. I know that he is in the most amazing place. I can't even image how incredible it must be!


























To honor him, I make the most of each day and each breath God gives me. Life is short, so we've all got to enjoy the time we have, and the loved ones around us.

I love you Kyle. I miss everything about you!
