At times I wonder if I told you how
good of a brother you was
to me or
just how much I needed you to share in my
joy and how proud I
was of you

Did I ever tell you how much you helped me when
we was growing up
sometimes I
wonder if you realized how very important to me
you was

You was so dear to me at times it is still hard
for me to deal with the fact that you are no
longer here

Now today is your birthday I want to hug you
one more time and tell you I
love you
Big brother I miss you so much every
day

I know in my heart the closeness we shared you
knew you was so special to me the way
I knew I was special
to you

Even though we told each other often that we
loved each other when one is
gone the
one left behind wishes for a chance to say I
love you and one
last hug

Rita, I love this poem. I know how bad
you've been hurting and you told it very
well in this poem.

God bless you, Rita, and I hope you're feeling
lots better real soon!!!!!!  

Heart hugs to you from us,
