First a brother, and then and in-law, regarded as a brother-in-law these days, but two entities I would say, the former, an accurate representation of you to me.
My Brother…
Always full of surprises, please tell me this is the grand surprise and this is all a lie, a one-off surprise where this one time, you’ve left me out of the plan, tell us you were only teasing Pirro, we would forgive you and welcome you back with open arms…We would give everything Pirro to have you with us again.
I really can’t deal with this, it’s way too much… I wake up each morning overwhelmed with so much emotion because I still hear your voice in my head, I still own souvenirs that represent that special bond we shared. I look in my arms every morning, and there you are represented…memoirs of lovely times shared. With “baby”, I planned forever, so how do I move on from this grief Pirro. I am waiting for a sign, a message something…I need something to hold on to Pirro!!!
You inspired me, in so many ways and even in your passing, you inspire me more. You had more faith in me than I had in myself, we would be partners, we had plans Pirro. Now, how does your brother deal with this? You would often tease about my belly, Sir Jay, “see your belle you would say”… always motivating, always inspiring to make Jay better in every possible way. I thought there were only a bunch of us lucky enough to be benefactors of the marvel that you were. Now, I know the world was a better place because you were here.
I am not going to breakdown Pirro because, I would be letting you down if I did. You would want “Sir Jay” to man up and hold the forte. Yes sir!!! I will…! Your boy is on is way though, he kicked mummy so hard on the day of your passing, probably in agony that he would never get to know Uncle Peter or just maybe he could feel your pain and that which your passing would bring.
I miss you badly brother…I’ll miss you so so much Pirro!!! Proud I am, Proud we are, Proud we will always be. We knew Pirro, a man who soared the skies in pursuit of a dream.
