When I got the news about you, I couldn’t believe it. All the memories flashed on through, still I couldn’t see it. I kept calling your phone, it kept ringing. No answer at all, I’m crying looking at the ceiling. I knew things were going to suddenly change, but I wasn’t expecting this immense pain. I called your phone again, and all it did was ring and ring. All I wanted was to hear your voice, make sure you were still here by choice. Never got to grieve your memory, I fall asleep only to lie awake in misery. Losing a sibling isn’t for the weak. Losing my brother made me unable to speak. I wish I had one last day with you, one last laugh like we used to do. I’d tell you everything I never said, all the words stuck in my head.

I lost my big brother 2 days before my birthday, 5 months after my mom died. If there is one thing I know for certain, is grief.
