for my brother

i know you're watching from heaven and guiding us through life safely. i know those rainbows that appear from nowhere are you reminding me to be strong and love everyone. i know you love us and you know we miss you. it's been so long since i've seen your face, and yes i still remember it. such an innocent child, you felt like a younger brother moreso than an older one. i know that someday i will see you again, but until then, i'll live better, breathe stronger, and sigh harder for the both of us. the least i can do to repay the blessings that you set upon this family. rest in peace, ryan matthew. and happy twenty first birthday, brother. i know you're celebrating it with the angels...♥
