My Baby brother; I sit here today still crying my eyes out. I cant believe that Sunday (Mothers Day) will be 6 months since you left. There is an emptiness in our hearts and lives that can not be filled. Mom cries so much…..I’m sure you can see her. Dad tries to be that “strong guy” like you….but he’s different Greg. Hes not the smiley, joking guy he use to be. I keep hoping I will wake up and you will still be here. I know you are in Heaven and God has you in His arms. But our arms are so empty here on Earth. I look forward to the day that you greet me in Heaven, I throw my arms around you with a big hug and whisper in you’re ear ” I hug you because I Love you Greg” Until then…I will try to carry on. I love and miss you baby brother. Your Sis, Ronnie
