Always on my Mind: 9 years

Today brother, you were taken from our lives. You were laid to rest and now your spirit roams free! I never imagined after nine years, I'd still feel your presence, each and every day. Yes, I knew you'd always be in my heart, on my mind.......but never a day goes by without you near. It's like an invisible being {i feel you around me all the time}! I'm not just saying this---I truly feel my little brother. I feel him looking at me sometimes and think for a brief moment that it's weird AND then I smirk, roll over and just feel the most easing feeling imaginable.
Dougie, you may not be here in front of our eyes. I may not be able to hug you, kiss your cheeks or feel your skin but i know you are my angel. You walk beside me, whiz around corners and watch over us to make sure we're safe and sound. Yet I do not see you, I can still blow you kisses, tell you I love you and goodnight, laugh and dance with you! And I know you know I'm calling out to you. I know you hear me.

God had better plans for you! He gave me 20 years of your life and throughout those years we shared a bond that drove us close in the very end. We shared secrets, cries, laughter and prayer. We shared heartache and pain, love and hope, dreams and drives. Ultimately, God knew what was best and took you home. Home to a safe place where you could no longer be hurt, heart broken or tore to pieces. I never questioned the good lord why he took you, i already knew. I am at peace because I know you are brother. You are our One Love, our peaceful angel and my only brother.

May your soul soar, may your smile forever be in our sights, may you whisper i love yous and hold us tight. When you're dancing with the angels and singing in the light, remembering you is our last thought of the night. We know you're at peace and therefore we are, but not a day goes by that your memory will ever cease. You are forever in our hearts, on our minds and soon enough, our souls will meet again, whispering in the winds.
I love you to the moon and back! your big sis ♥ Vic
