Today my older brother passed into the next world, after a short and devastating battle with pancreatic cancer. Like any doting sister I loved him and idolized him my whole life. I refuse to end that admiration with his exit from my realm. I will love him, remember him and cherish the beautiful light he was and is in my heart for the rest of my life.
Today I begin this blog as a way to document my memories, stories and his antics over the short time we had him. I am building a small fortress in my heart to contain the pain that is piling up by reinforcing the walls with all the magnificent things remember about him.
The title of the blog is a reference to Christmas Vacation. We would text each other when we were watching that. Sharing lines and laughter about a movie we both loved. It is the Christmas season, and that movie is hard to watch right now. I will get through it, I will find the joy through the tears and I'll try not to let his being gone ruin so many things we loved together. Goodbye my brother. Feel free to haunt me, I welcome your spirit anytime.
