Mike
it's been 22 years now
you were just 22 years old then
much too young to go.
you left us in a hurry--
just how you always were.
no goodbyes
from you
or
from us.
life is short
much too short for some
but you are not forgotten.
family
friends
neighbors
classmates
people you never met
know
your story,
my stories of you,
others' memories.
but
we all wish
we could know your story
through you
and
live your story
with you still...
Peace.

Laura,
Just beautiful.
I remember having such difficulty last year when I realized that after the 20th anniversary, my brother would be gone longer than he was alive. I hope you know how much I empathize.
I wonder if our brothers have met and if they know how deeply their lives and their deaths have affected who we are. I have a feeling that my brother would be totally making fun of me for devoting an entire blog to his memory. No doubt, he would be convincing Mike to react the same way. :)
You and your brother are in my thoughts and in my heart.
