Each day that passes is as hard as the one before. The love that we share drags us through another door To move on with life in a normal fashion just isn't the same with our loss of passion But we know to be strong when we look in his eyes The pain he is feeling is no big surprise He is the big brother of the one lost so young He holds back the tears, his head always hung He reminds us each day of the life that once was Everything so similar in all that he does He misses his bubby with each passing day And wishes he was there for all the games to play We know he is sad and can feel his pain Not having him here just isn't the same We hope that some day his big brother will see That our little guy is now forever pain free And when the day comes For us all to reunite Maybe then they can both sleep in peace through the night. To Conner, Cory's big brother Who guided and protected him every day of his short life XOXOXOXOXO |

Oh my gosh - this is so beautiful. Bless that little boy and you. Time heals they say, but luckily never forgets... his memory lives on in your thoughts and these lovely words. |

This is beautiful and touching, Kris and I understand it so well because even though my daughters were 33 and 34 when the oldest one passed away, I see how much my daughter misses her every day. Thank God she has two daughters of her own, and now, a grandaughter. But losing her sister left a huge void in her life that can never be filled. Love, Ida |

Kris, the weight of this is heavy, whether an elder sibling, or a younger one - and I don't think it ever really matters at what age we lose them... the pain of the loss is always there. |

I thank you all for your kind words. The grief of losing our little Cory has been so deep, there really are no words. The loss of a child is something No person should ever face, but we continue on in his memory daily. Ida Thank you for your thoughts. I know how much you can relate. Bless you sweet one!! |

K, this poem is a loving, compassionate piece of your heart with which you have gifted your son Connor. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to see the pain in his eyes on the loss of his younger brother Cory. This alone, compounds your own pain in losing him. I am deeply saddened by what your family has had to endure. May the sorrow fade with the morrows ~ but may the wonderful memories of Cory be with you forever and a day. God bless each and every one of you! Love & Eternal Light, Linda  |

How wonderful of you to see past your own grief to that of your son. I too have lost a son and he has two sisters to mourn his passing with all the wonderful memories of their big brother. Please give Your sweet boy a hug for me. Love, Joyce |

This is so heartwrenching and makes me want to reach out with a big hug. This kind of sorrow is never easy, but the thought that love is an undying energy may comfort the hearts just a little bit and will make it easier in time ... Love, Margherita  |

Aww...hugs. addressing grief is so difficult, but to convey the stoicism of the aftermath so poignantly is ...well, I hope it helped you to heal a bit. A sad situation, but the simplicity of your craft rendered a strange beauty to me as the love is so evident. Well done, K-K. |

Thank you Serenity for understanding and feeling the emotion as I have. I am not a professional in poetry, just like to dabble in it for release. Hugs right back to you!!!! |
