Brother Gone
The time was 5:20pm it was time for his pain medicine, keeping him comfortable was goal. I woke him with a tap and call of his name. He woke barely and took the tiny pill on his tongue and a sip of water to swallow it. He began mumbling and reaching out as if to hand someone something and a look of disappointment when the nothing in his hand was not taken, I sat by his side while he battled the air. Soon after his breathing began to be a challenge, the strength dwindled, his eyes closed and a sweet peace came over his entire body.
He let go of his life, the pain was gone and he rested in the hands of God himself. I had never seen him so beautiful as he did that night, the look of peace on his face changed my life as his entire life flashed before my eyes. He was my baby brother just 5 years younger and his life cut short to 35. Love thy brother has a new meaning.
