Goodbye My Darling Brother Jim
A tribute to my brother42 total reviews
Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
I am so very sorry for you in your pain. This is I pray you will be able to travel safely and calmly, and will give you a special thought on Wednesday. You are my second Fan Story friend who has been able to write so quickly about the loss of a sibling. I envy you both this release.
When we lost my brother it was nearly seven years before I could write the first word, and in the meantime I was torn apart from within. Now I am slowly compiling a tribute to his life, which is enabling me to remember him without agony.

Hi Katherine,
Thank you for your review it is very much appreciated
I am sorry for my late reply but I was attending
my brothers funeral this week. My husband and I
needed to travel over 1500kls interstate to attend
under difficult Quarantine requirements.
However with much hassle we arrived the day before
Jim had a beautiful funeral service
and I was privileged to do his eulogy
Then we had to come straight home another 1500kls
I will miss my brother very much

Your poem shows your love and connection with your brother in a very authentic, moving manner. I send a comforting hug and prayers for your loss. The tears will flow, but as you also mention, there were tears of laughter to cherish. Hold tight to the good memories.

Thank you for sharing from your heart, Christine! Loved how you ended it with a sending of this heart-felt letter to be mailed to the wind. I'm sure he will read every word. May God enfold all of you and your family with comfort and assurance of His loving care.

Christine, your love for your brother, Jim, shines through this whole poem, and your expression of how he loved you is well written. The rhyming is very well done. A look back into you and your brother's life together is very emotional as well. So very sorry for your of your brother.
