The Bottom Line This is a wonderful place to write down your heart felt feelings. It is a place to help each other in our time of need.

How often we have taken the tomorrow's for granted. It is early morning and so many thoughts race though my mind. My younger brother Wayne was found dead Friday morning at his home. His funeral was Monday. It still doesn't seem real as I try to face the days without him. With every knock on my door it seems that he should be walking inside as usual with (( Hi sis )). and getting his coffee or a soda and sit and talk with me and my family.

My brother Wayne was only 46 years old. He touched my life in many ways. he brought me joy, sadness, and worry. My thoughts go back to childhood and I long to relive those days. There are so many emotions to face at a time like this. I relive so many memories of times spend together as I write this and the pain of his loss is so great.

I ask my self why did I do this and why didn't I do that? The guilt is hard to live with as I can see his face so clearly in my mind. I will always remember the last time I saw him, just hours before his death as he was on his way home. I ask myself if I had only been there with him could I have saved him?

The times we have spend together will alway be a part of me. The good as well as the bad. Wayne was a song and poem writer. He wrote many beautiful songs, one he sung at our mother's funeral.

I wish I had told him more that I loved him and also shown him more how important he was to me. I know he knew I loved him, but at a time like this nothing I have done seems to be enough. My brother is in God's hands now I know. He is no longer sick and he is free from the pain he had to live with in this live for so many years. I just hope he really knew how much I loved him. I know I will always miss him as I do my sister and parents and I hope to never take a day for granted with my remaining family members. Please pray for me and my family in this time of sorrow. I feel very blessed to have a place to write from my heart where I know there are caring and loving people here at Epinions. Please don't take tomorrow for granted like I have so many times. Tell all you love how much you love them and be with them as much as possible. God Bless you all
