As my older brother, Steve filled many roles in my life. He was my 1st friend, my protector, sometimes my tormentor, my guide, and other roles too numerous to mention. As is normal we developed our own personalities and interests, and, if I'm honest, they were very different. There was very little in terms of hobbies, sports, etc that we shared. But that didn't mean we were strangers. I was honoured to be his best man when he married Jenny, the love of his life, and we both knew we were only ever a phone call away.
Now you're not.
There have already been several occasions where I've automatically reached for my phone to text you some nonsense.
It Hurts.
It hurts to know that I can never speak to you again, to see your smile, to share in your many kindnesses.
I will miss you now, tomorrow and forever.
