SheFly,
Like Lisa, I too lost a brother a very long time ago and did not have a chance to tell him I loved him. I am so sorry for your loss! -jane"When I'm on my bike I forget about things like age. I just have fun." Kathy Sessler

SheFly - I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have made it a goal for 2009 to reach out to those near and dear to me and let them know how much they mean to me but thank you for the reminder.
You and your family are in my prayers. ((hugs))Dar

So sorry for your loss! If it's any comfort -- over the 41 years, even if you never said it, I bet your brother figured it out that you loved him. Still, it's good advice you've given us. I'll be sure to give my sibs and other family members big hugs when I see them this coming weekend.

Condolences . . .
Every family has its own unique ways of expressing love. I'm sure your brother knew you loved him.

So sorry to learn of your loss. Your plea hit a nerve with me.
I lost my younger brother some time ago, during my workaholic phase. Never went home for holidays and such because there would always be time "later".
He died at Christmas and it was a harsh wake-up call that there would be no "later".
You and your family are in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry. It's so very hard to lose a sibling.
I just got back from a cross country trip to see my sister who has cancer and that's exactly why. I don't know how much more time I have with her. When she goes I don't want to feel like I could have spent more time with her but I didn't.

Oh. SheFly, I am SO sorry. I truly am.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've been there, and it will be very hard now and for some time to come. Eventually, you do come to accept the awful truth of their being gone, but you never forget them and you never stop loving them. Concentrate on the times you had together.

My family lives on the other side of the country. But we do chat on the phone. I always end the conversation with "I love you." I will think of you when I do this next.
My condolences to you and your family.
