Feels Like Yesterday
by J. Higgins, Gaithersburg, U.S.A.
I was 12 when my brother died from cancer at age 8. Now I am 28 and feel like I've been living in a time-warp for the past 16 years. Time passed, the years moved on, but I didn't. It seems like just yesterday when I said good-bye to my brother in the hospital, not knowing it would be the for the last time. It's like I have been waiting for something to happen, something to change that would make everything right again. It's taken all these years to finally realize the change I've been waiting for has been going on all around me - I just had to open my eyes...I will never forget, he will always be with me, but I can't close my eyes for too long or I miss the chance at life that was so unfairly taken from him.
