Me and my brother... Christmas 2004
I'm not sure that I have ever shared this information on my blog, but I am compelled to post today because it is a very difficult day for me and my parents, niece and family.
One year ago today, my brother committed suicide. One year ago today was the worst day of my life. One year ago today, I lost my only sibling. One year ago today, I watch my parents lose a child and witnessed the heartwrenching pain they would endure.
This past year has been difficult. My brother left behind a beautiful 10 year old daughter. She misses her daddy.
Today, I will spend the day with my parents and try to get through the day as best we can. Please say a prayer for us.
I'll be back in a day or two with some cards to share.

There are no words that will ever bring peace to that empty, painful and broken part of your hearts!
This has been a past year of living through all 'The Firts'without your brother. I can't even begin to imagine your pain. Just know that for those of us reading your story we feel your heartache and we are holding you in our thoughts and hugging you in our prayers!
God Bless you Monica, I can't begin to imagine what you have gone trough the last year, My thought and heartfelt prayers are with you! xxx
Our prayers are with you. It is so hard to loose someone like this. I have had friends who lost their close ones leaving kids behind. It leaves so many questions and I can only imagine how every day is a struggle to keep you going. We will be thinking of you. Love from Sweden - Anki
Oh Monica, I'm so sorry for your loss! Thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family!
