They say that times a healer but I don't think that is true, because there's not enough time in eternity to stop me missing you.
Three years have passed since you left us Joe and the hurt is just as bad as the day your heart stopped beating and left us all so sad.
I held you as a baby, and watched you grow each day into a beautiful young man who was kind, caring and there for me every step of the way.
It was a shock to hear that you were in a bad way and visiting you in hospital, watching you grow weaker every day. But even then none of us could have imagined it would end this way.
To have our hopes raised up high and the joy of having you home to then watching you taken away in a cruel twist of fate.
It blows my mind to think of you and how you went away; the heartache and loneliness is here with me to stay. But so are the happy memories that can't be taken away and them my dearest brother keep the tears, sometimes at bay.
Life goes on without you Joe, although the pain is raw, I often stop and think of you and how you'd be today, if you'd not died and was here with us to stay, but that can never happen and that's what hurts the most I just hope your out there somewhere living as a ghost.
For now we'll have to wonder and let the torment live on until the day I die and hopefully you'll be there to meet me and stand by my side.
Love and miss to always Joe xxxx
