Holding myself together in a sense.
Because if you don't want to look like a blubbering fool this is what you do.
Then he knelt down to hug my daughter and all of that was lost.
This man who has been a part of my life for well over a decade.
Every Christmas, every beach vacation, every Thursday night, and certainly every handy man project.
My husband's brother who became closer than my very own.
Of course there are promises of keeping in touch and thoughts of how easy it will be with all of the new technology but it will never be the same.
There is no replacing the physical presence of someone.
Nor will there be any forgetting of how well he loved us and our children.
It's real and raw this gaping hole but slowly and surely I will unclench my fists and let him go,
choosing to be grateful for the time we were given to walk alongside each other.
