A Brother's Love And Unbreakable Bond

To My Best Friend,
I still can’t believe you’re gone. There are no words big enough for this kind of loss. The pain you had to endure was unbearable to watch. I can’t even begin to imagine how it was to physically feel it. I am torn between selfishly wanting you here and not wanting you to suffer anymore. Knowing that we will meet again gives me so much joy. Please watch over the family. Your maturity and guidance is perfect to lead anyone in the direction they need to go.

You fought this with a strength that was quiet but unshakable. Through every treatment, every ER scramble, every side effect—you never sat and complained. Even when your body was failing you, your spirit never did. You carried yourself with grace, with courage, and with a kind of peace that I still don’t fully understand.

You just kept moving forward, one step at a time, making all of us believe we could too. That’s who you were—selfless, strong, and always thinking of others before yourself.
I miss your laugh. I miss the way we could talk about anything—or sit in silence and still feel understood. I miss the future we thought we had. But more than anything, I miss you—my brother, my hero, my heart.
