In This Haze of Green and Gold

My brother found his way to the clearing at the end of his path.

My thoughts are with you, your family and friends at this very difficult time.

"There's music in a well-lived life, and melodies remain each time a loving memory repeats the sweet refrain. The song that lingers in our hearts becomes our legacy . . . its beauty gently echoing through all eternity."
author unknown (at least to me)

I will hold you, your family and his friends in my thoughts today.
*Hugs*

Hugs from me too! I've been wondering how he was doing but wasn't sure if you were up to talking about it. You will continue to be in my thoughts.

This is so, so sad, M, and there's nothing I can do but tell you you're in my thoughts.

*hugs*

So sorry. So very, very sorry. Words fail me as I can't find anything more eloquent to say than that.

The loss of those we love is never easy and I think it only gets harder the older we get.

Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and heart today and in the days ahead.

Mellisa, so sorry to hear of your loss. Do the characters shown in your (very elegant and dignified) post honoring your brother have a special meaning to him? Or to you?

Merujo said...

Thank you, everyone, for your lovely words and good thoughts. I'm feeling pretty out of it tonight.

Randy - the symbol means "peace." I just happened upon it on Google images today, and I was struck by its simplicity and beauty. Thought it was the right send off. My brother had been so sick for so long, I hope he has found peace. (And all the answers to the questions on "Lost.") :-)

Even though you might have been preparing for it, you never are ready when the news comes. I am sure his memory will be in your heart for the rest of your life. I am so sorry for your loss.

Oh hon...

I shouldn't stay away this long ever again.

I'm so sorry about your brother - if I could hug you I would.
