I'm so sorry to hear that.

[anniegetyourgun]

Sympathy to you and the family, blam. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.

[Sabatier]

I lost a brother a long time ago and think about him every day. I feel he is with me in spirit, in God's hands. My prayers are with you.
Ever since 9/11 nobody in this family parts without an "I love you". Life is too short for anything else.

[afraidfortherepublic]

My heartfelt condolences to you.

"I buried my younger brother yesterday...and I thought about what I had last said to him."

I am so very sorry, blam. Thoughts are with you and your family. Lost my youngest brother when he was 20. Last time I saw him, he was home from college for the weekend, I will always treasure his last words to me "I love you so much, always be happy". I think of him everyday and I know he is in Heaven.

Great thread Carlo3b, freeper hugs to ya.

Blam, I am so sorry.

Peace be with you.........

Blam, remember about all the good times, all the hard times shared together, all the times you laughed out loud together. That's what counts. Life doesn't come down to one last meeting between family.

blam, I lost a brother, too...with no real warning, and no real opportunity to tell him how much I loved him. In my case, I had mailed him a card that never was opened - we found it slid under the door of his apartment, probably delivered a day after he disappeared.

I know what losing a sibling is like. (I've lost two, and I'm only 43.)

I'm so sorry to hear you're going through it.

[arasina]

God bless you both.

so sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.

In 1947 I saw my sister(then 11 and I was 6 and could not swim) drown. Not a day goes by that I do not think of that tradegy. My parents have both passed but my prayer is that all of my 6 children outlive me.

[Humidston]

Blam, here's a hug with my heart. Hang in there, my FRiend, and know you're in our prayers tonight.

[Quix]

OUCH!

You might consider writing him a letter. Perhaps taking it to his grave site and burning it or burning it on a high mountain you may have hiked together to.

I suspect he'll receive the message from just your writing it.

[Exit148]

My heart aches for you, blam. I hope the comments here help ease your pain a little. I will say a little prayer for you and your brother, tonight.

I buried my younger brother yesterday.

And I helped my 79 year-old father say goodbye to his younger brother not too long ago. There's not much to say that can help, except to have people around who understand why it matters.

Take care, blam. We know you from your profile and your comments. Your brother had a great role model and must have been a super human being.

[Romulus]

I'm so sorry, blam.

Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.

[Unknown Freeper]

Blam, I am so very sorry for your loss and hope that you remember the good times with your brother. You know that he loved you and always will.

My dear friends.. how truly wonderful you are.  It's good to take pause and count your blessings occasionally. I am a lucky man to have great friends and a wonderful loving family. I have 5 beautiful and bright children and 5 absolutely gorgeous grandchildren.. (all a tribute to their noble and honorable lineage)

I came to FreeRepublic as a guest 6 years ago as therapy, after having suffered a stroke. If it was serenity I was needing, it wasn't to be found on these threads, then or now.. LOL

It was, I soon discovered, a pathway to a new neighborhood, an extended family. I found my way back to good health, better than before, because I had found friends, and allies. I discovered I was not alone in my beliefs.

Here on these threads, like tonight, I thank the Lord I am an American, and that there are thousands of people just like me, that share the vision of our founding fathers, and we each have found a place to gather. Birds of a feather.. not always agreeing, not always arguing either, but always close when you need them.. GOD BLESS YOU ALL... and thank you Jim Robinson for our home away from home.

To all of you wonderful FReepers, you are never alone, you are always with kin on these pages....

I LOVE YOU ALL...

My sincere sympathies.
