Letting Go

©  Shannon Billeter
You're still here in my heart and mind,
still making me laugh cause your stories live on.
I hold you in a thought and I can feel you.
I feel you and this gives me strength and courage.
The tears I have cried for you could flood the earth
and I know you have wiped each one away.
For you Brother, I promise you this,
I will go on with my life and make you proud. I will always hold you in my heart.
I promise you I will be missing you everyday till the end of time,
but this is not my end and I can't hold my head underwater....I need to breathe.
I need to love and miss you, but I also need to live because through me you will live,
you will still laugh and love,
you will still sing and dance,
you will still hug and kiss.
You will forever be in our lives,
you will forever be a brother,
a son,
an uncle
and friend.
I am going to miss your shining face
I think of you and wonder why?
I might cry or smile,
but at the end of the day I am one day closer to you....

When I found this poem on here, I read it and just broke down. April 25th 2009 will be 1 year that I lost my brother Denny. He passed away after having a massive heart attack. He was only 36 years old. This poem brought not only tears to my eyes, but a warmness to my heart. It is sooo true. I want to thank you from my heart for writing this. Missy

I lost my cousin last year, she was full of life. Shiny and sparkly like a rainbow in the cloud. Born to amuse, to inspire and to put smiles in the faces of people around her. WE Miss you! Thou you are gone, we will still keep memories of you. You were wonderful, fun to be with and nice. We miss you! I wish that you were here to celebrate together. I wish that we can spend the holidays together. Its so sad that I can only wish. Its so sad to know that you are gone forever.
We miss you!

I'm 12 and I lost my brother just last November and he was killed in a car accident too. ): he was 16. I think its really hard to live without him and I bet you feel the same way. This poem makes me want to cry but sometimes that's a good thing.. I love this poem.

My brother Glenn also died in a car accident, he was 26. It was two weeks after my 17th birthday. I was supposed to drive for him that night. His car flipped fifty feet into a swamp. It landed upside down. I went to sleep at 4 a.m. and I was woken up at 6 a.m. by my uncle who told me that my brother was dead. I cried for so long, I couldn't believe he was gone. I never got the chance to tell him how much I loved him or even to say goodbye. It's been 4 years since he died, the pain doesn't go away. I'd do anything to have him back.
