A Loved One Gone Too Soon

Goodbye My Love!


I stand, gazing longingly across the backyard fence, searching for that familiar sight of the sun setting beautifully in the western sky. It is not there today! There’s no setting sun this surprisingly pleasant evening. The overcast partly cloudy western sky matches my inner mood.


There is a simmering sadness deep within my soul. It has been exactly 24 hours since my beloved middle brother passed away. He died from complications from an accident he had on Labor Day.

Goodbye Maurice, My Love! Your physical presence will be sorely missed. Your energizing voice on the other end of the phone is forever etched in my memory. Your positive uplifting conversations will keep me thinking of you lovingly and smiling …just because.  

I love you more than mere words can ever express. Always have and always will.

I Love You Little Brother! Go now, and Rest-in-Peace!

God’s Got This!

Your big sister,
DG – Dell – DellGirl

PS: I see you smiling up there. Keep it up. I’m smiling too now that you’re at rest.
