I know it is awful, but I have been.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Since the first time I read about your brother, I have mourned with you.  That ache, and pain is so akin with how I feel about my losses.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;It isn't fair to have life cut so short. It isn't fair to have someone taken from you, whom you depended on and whom is a literal part of who you are.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I have long known that life isn't fair, but the complexity of the emotional ramifications for such losses is beyond the imagination of anyone who hasn't experienced it.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Somedays, the promises of Eternal Families holds my heart together, and I have a solid, confident belief in this. Other times, it only dulls the ache of heartache of loss.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I still instinctivly pick up the phone to call my Sister.  Sometimes I literally have to remind myself that she isn't there.  I feel extrodinarly grateful that I have her children in my home.  What a part of her, i have been able to retain.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I often talk to them in my mind, and I am convinced that Ethan communicates with them as well.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I look forward, to learning more about your Brother. To learning more about what events have cultivated my dear friend.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;These Chronicles are priceless.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I love you and all that you are.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I am so glad to know you.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37533503/116335944168614287/comments/default/116396900231751656'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37533503/116335944168614287/comments/default/116396900231751656'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://earthboundchronicles.blogspot.com/2006/11/my-brother-my-best-friend-my-protector.html?showComment=1163968980000#c116396900231751656' title=''/><author><name>Lisa M.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15666294021660381875</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://earthboundchronicles.blogspot.com/2006/11/my-brother-my-best-friend-my-protector.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37533503.post-116335944168614287' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37533503/posts/default/116335944168614287' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37533503.post-116347080387639701</id><published>2006-11-13T18:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-13T18:20:00.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'>32.

I don't remember too much about my uncle, but I do know how much of an impact he had in the lives of those around him. And one of the only memories of my cousin is of him riding his tri-cycle around the back yard. But I do remember that day. Its odd how the best of us have such a short time to do what we came to do, but from what I know they both accomplished a great deal.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37533503/116335944168614287/comments/default/116344720416794313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37533503/116335944168614287/comments/default/116344720416794313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://earthboundchronicles.blogspot.com/2006/11/my-brother-my-best-friend-my-protector.html?showComment=1163447160000#c116344720416794313' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://earthboundchronicles.blogspot.com/2006/11/my-brother-my-best-friend-my-protector.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37533503.post-116335944168614287' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37533503/posts/default/116335944168614287' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37533503.post-116339664464460285</id><published>2006-11-12T21:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-12T21:44:00.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Thank you for that!!!!!

And yet I do the same thing when I know I have seen somthing he would have loved. I linger a littler longer in hope to catch a glimpse of him in a reflection or on the breeze. I am so happy to have found him in you and in Smee. You will never know what you bring to me. &lt;BR/&gt;You know how you have a parent you are just closer to, not becuase you love them more or because of anything realy. You just got a bigger chunk of them. I was his, I am so glad to have found both you and Smee, I feel as if I fit somhow. In a place where he would have been you both have come to tell me that I am from somwhere. &lt;BR/&gt;Thank you for that. You will truly never know.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37533503/116335944168614287/comments/default/116339664464460285'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37533503/116335944168614287/comments/default/116339664464460285'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://earthboundchronicles.blogspot.com/2006/11/my-brother-my-best-friend-my-protector.html?showComment=1163396640000#c116339664464460285' title=''/><author><name>The Pea</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04186911296997162118</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://earthboundchronicles.blogspot.com/2006/11/my-brother-my-best-friend-my-protector.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37533503.post-116335944168614287' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37533503/posts/default/116335944168614287' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
