Holiday for hugs


August 18th has been an electric day to me since he was born. I am trying to continue to make it a holiday for our family even though he is gone.



Today is my brother Dave's birthday.
I miss him. It still hurts not to have him here to enjoy.
I love that kid so much and I miss my dear friend. I miss his KILLER hugs.




I guess wouldn't have it any other way.
In missing and feeling loss I know I gave everything I had as his sister and friend.
I have no regrets.
I have multiplied the love I feel knowing him.
I cherish our marvelous memories with/of my little brother.
