I was always taught you should never ask god why But sometimes I just can not help it It has been nearly nine years since you have taken my daddy and brother away and I still wonder why I thought my heart had been broken into so many pieces that there was no way it could ever be put back together again after daddy passed away Then god two weeks later you seen fit to take my brother also Then I realized there is no way I could ever put that part of my heart together again The day you took my brother a big part of was gone also I thought there was no way I could go on after losing my daddy but god why did you have to take my brother also he was such a big part of my life I was closer to him than I was anyone my heart still aches for him we was close it was like we was twins He always protected me you see god we was not raised with our mom and he looked out for me He always knew when I needed my big brother and he would come to me God I know you do what is best for us but I still need him by me so bad My heart still aches to see him and hear his reassuring voice God please tell him one more time for me I love him and still miss him Thank you god for listening to me always treat others the way you want to be treated |

I believe that not only God was listening to you, but your brother and your father were as well--along with the readers of this very moving and mournful cry from the depths of your soul... Warm hugs, Earth Angel |

My brother was also taken at a very young age. He and I were real close, too. So, I understand how you feel. I miss my brother, too. |

Rita, knowing you as I do, I know how hard this was for you to write. I'm really glad that you got it posted. Are you feeling okay? I hope so. They say that writing about things that really hurt helps. I admire you for being able to write this, Rita. Remember that Gary and I love you and his Dad very much and that we appreciate all ya'll do for us very much, too.....  Call if you need me..... Heart Hugs,  Ethel |

A very moving and gut wrenching piece to read. It is always good therapy when feelings can come out by writing. God bless you and I feel your sorrow. Keep writing. Hugs to you ... Marti Dwelling on the negative simply |
