Well, I have to say that this isn't my most uplifting post, but it is a moment in my life, and that is what my blog is all about! Today makes three months since my amazing and loving brother passed away. Sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday, and some days it feels like it has been a year. But no matter the span of time that has passed, this has been THE hardest thing I have ever been through in my life! To suddenly lose a sibling, especially one so young, rips a huge hole out of your heart and soul that can't ever be filled or replaced. Any of you that have siblings knows exactly what I am talking about. Your siblings are your lifeline. There is no one else in the world who will love you and understand you like a sibling will. They know your deepest and darkest secrets and they know every flaw, but they still love you anyway.
The other day I was going through pictures that I had on my computer to send off and have printed out. Well, needless to say, I am way behind on getting photos printed. I came across some photos from this summer of my brother, my son, and my niece. Instantly my heart filled with sadness and joy all at the same time. I was sad because I miss my brother so, but so joyful that I will forever have this memory! Here are the two pictures that I found...
Finding these pictures was the greatest gift! My brother loved his niece and nephews more than anything else in the world, and they loved him just as much!! I can't have my brother back, but at least I have these photos to hold onto forever to remind me of the love we all had and still have for each other!! Here are a few more photos of my precious Ali doodle...
He was the cutest little one!!
A house divided! My brother and my dad during the Texas/Arkansas game.

My brother and Truett...I have always loved this picture!!
One of my favorite pictures ever!! That smile could light up the darkest of rooms!! Your Eenna loves you more than you could ever know and misses you so very very much! Not a hour passes that I don't think of you and miss you!!
