My Beloved Brother


From day one all we did was fight,
now all I do is fight back my tears.
I wanted to do everything you did,
because I wanted to be just like you.
Now I sit here wondering what to do,
because there´s no one to replace you.

I never did tell you all the things I felt,
like how much I really did love you.
I wish we could go back and start over again.
I don´t want to be alone. I need my brother,
I need my best friend.

When you think of me
while your up in heaven,
Think of how much you meant to me.

Its sad that you left
without saying goodbye,
But just remember we all love you
as you began to fly.

You were my brother
and my best friend.
I will always love you
no matter how long its been,
since your life came to an end

So sorry that Peewee has passed. It doesn’t feel real to me. I can remember a day when visiting and we were all in the backseat of Aunt Alices car she and my mom in front seat. I had such a terrible headache and Peewee offered to rub my head to ease the pain. I was being catty towards him but he just went ahead and eased the terrible pain from my brow. I couldn’t believe such a tenderness he showed to me. I couldn’t help but melt beside him with a kiss on the cheek and a thank you Cuz. He was a big guy with a big heart as far as I’m concerned. I never forgot his kindness. Living such a distance away doesn’t help to keep in touch. Prayers for you guys and sending my love as well.
