I should have, I could have, if only!!!! These are the thoughts that race through my head. Spoke with him just a few days ago. He mentioned the headaches and how his eye hurt. He mentioned he felt tired. If only....
Hard to believe, hard to accept but blessed beyond words to have Martin as my brother! He loved everyone in his own way! He had such courage to speak his mind. These last two days as so much family has come to my moms house I reflect on what a gift he left us. Death really does bring family closer. I will hug my other siblings tighter, I will make sure not to take for granted any precious moments. I've gotten to see so many relatives I had not seen in years. While in the back of mind I know what my brother would be thinking, I still rejoice in the fact that we have been united to share memories to create new ones.
Every single room in my house has his magic carpenter touch. I'd show him a picture and he would make it happen. I recall you once said, "Ya no estes en esa cosa" He was referring to Pinterest but nonetheless he helped us make our house a HOME!
I am grateful for you, I am excited for you and everything you must be experiencing right now. You took a piece of my heart with you Big Brother. You will forever live in me and my family. My kid will miss their Tio Martin. Rest my brother and know that you will never be forgotten! While we may not do it as good as you, we will carry on your traditions!!! I Love you MORE!
