Loss of A Sibling



Mom life definitely keeps me busy and now the death of my brother has taken a toll. I’m absolutely not giving up, but I’m going through it. 



Grieving.  It’s natural. 

You’re probably weathering your own storms. Guess what? We can do this! I tend to disappear when things happen in my life and I don't want to do that this time around. The last time something devastating happened I stayed away from YouTube and my blog.  I actually enjoy them both.  So much happened while I was away.  It’s a hobby that I enjoy. My brother wouldn't want me to stop doing what I love. 

 

 I love him! I miss him!

 Remember him with me πŸ’™

The last conversation I had with him was in the parking lot of Burger King in Hoover, Alabama. The kids were excited to see “Uncle Man”. They hugged and we took pictures.  The conversation was going so well that he said he would follow us to the park with the kids to talk more. That was different, but I said Yes sure. We talked about the kids and I moving back home to Alabama. I’ve lived in the DMV area for 10 years.  I started getting homesick a year ago, but I needed to make sure that it was real. It’s real. 

Officially homesick. 

The kids and I have met some amazing people in the (DMV )friendships for life, but they also show a different side when they are in Alabama. It’s always a cry fest when we leave. I never thought I would get to that point that I am ready to go. 

My brother told me that I was a good mom and that he missed me. He said sis you look so happy! I was like really ☺️. He said come home sis.

(Text sent later that night to me from my brother )





We sat at the park on the bench while my children and their cousins played. We talked about jobs, life and the future. It was a happy moment. He was so happy. I didn’t know that JUNE 2018 would be the last time I saw him physically. We hugged and I said I love you and see you next time I’m in town. I watched him drive off in his car until his car left my eyesight and I never do that because I expected to see him again. Look at GodπŸ’™ 

Wayne you miss me, but now I miss you more😘

~Love, 

A little Sister πŸ’•
