Big brother TALL
Big brother STRONG

You protected us
Stood up for us
Comforted us
Loved us
Made us feel safe
in a world out of control

Now I want to stand up for you
To comfort you and love you
I want to tell you that it will be okay
That I know how you feel
The pain so deep, so raw, so burning
you just want it to end

Big brother TALL
Big brother STRONG
I love you

Tina, this is such a special show of love, support, understanding, respect, and compassion for your TALL, STRONG, big brother!

May all be well for him ~ and for you.

A beautiful spill of pink ink from your loving heart.

A thousand miles away and yet still with him. The picture is perfect and says a million words...

Tina,

This so reminds me of my big brother and me.  I miss him every day - and he is always and forever my big brother.

Love,

Thanks so much everyone. I'll be going home after Thanksgiving to go see him. Your prayers and energy are amazing, thank you.
