The answers I am searching for are no where to be found,
and in my heart I hear a breaking kind of sound.

So young are you to travel a journey so far from home. I'll
meet you there someday when I no longer roam.

I'll see you in heaven when my days on earth are through,
then we can all be together Dad, Mom, Mandy, Me, and you.

Even so smart, could not have forseen, death so tragic
by any means. Your loving spirit upon my soul does lean.
Memories of you flash before me like one long scene.

The thought of you is both fear and strength. There's nothing
we could have done no matter what we think.

It was not knowing that was killing me. We kept
praying only God knows where you could be. Now I feel like
jumping into the river of tears, that's now as deep as a sea.

Now I know your dead. My greatest fears race through my
head. I wish "I love you" could have been the last words
we'd said.

I never got to say goodbye to you in quite the right way, but
how was I to know that you would die that day. My one
thought that keeps me going is that you know I love you
anyways.

It isn't fair why God take my brother away. I know he
cares, but why couldn't he stay.

I can't believe I'll never see him ever smile and squint his eyes
at me that certain way. I'll never get to see him grow up.
I'll never get to see him play.

He had a happy life, but it wasn't complete. Now he'll never
experience the little things we take for granted. The
opportunities we forget to meet. We'll never know what a
great man he could of grown up to be, and what great
things he could have done. We'll never get to see.

He always had that silly grin, it warmed the heart of both
friend and kin. He's bound to be the most perfect angel,
both beautiful and without sin.

It must have been hard to leave his earthbound love ones
behind, and not want to stay. I know it was hard, but
he knew he had to go away. I have to keep telling myself we'll be okay.

At least he'll get to talk to all the greatest minds up there, I
bet he'll have tons of video game strategies and theories to
share. I wish he'd ask me again to play. I'd be a better sister
I'd sit and listen to what he had to say.

(In heaven he'll play video games all day long.)
He'll be a ninja and learn martial arts.
(He'll teach Elvis and Abe Lincoln how to do the armpit fart.)

I know he's looking down on us wishing we weren't so sad. I
know he's hoping we all know where he is now, and that
should make us all glad.

I cannot cry anymore tonight I just close my eyes and I see
him hold Jesus' hand all peaceful and bright. I try not to
feel guilty about that night, because that's what siblings do
best is fight. I know he knows I love him with all my might.

We are still a family even though he is gone, we'll get
through this together as time goes on.

The worst part is the pain we all feel. God took him and a
piece of our hearts. That was the deal. The we have bleeding
inside will take a long time to heal.

Saying goodbye is the hardest thing I've ever had to do,
especially when I think about all the things we've been
through.

My heart remains angry knowing there's a picture he'll
never be in. Knowing there are things he'll never get to
begin.

Always love enough to forgive eachother. You may not ever
get a second chance to say how much you love your
brother.

I love you.......Dayna
