Something and nothing
@ 2007-04-29 - 04:01:36So. Almost a year since my brother took his own life.
Hmm.
I don't know how to be me without him.
He defined me in so many ways. I was "McBey's Sister" for all of my life. Now it's like I'm nothing. Nothing without him defining me. Is that wrong? Can I live my life being defined by other people? I don't know. All I know is that I miss him every day. Without question. Without remorse. With love.
Is that selfish? should I still wish him here in a world that made it so clear it didn't want him? He was my brother. My rock when things went shitty. I will always miss you Andrew, no matter what life throws at me. xx

im sorry to hear of your loss, i dont know you, but i know if i lost my brother or sister i couldnt bear it. personally, i would not see it as a bad thing to keep that bond alive but perhaps chanel your grief into something positive, a memorial perhaps. just a thought. be strong

Good grief! And now I've written that, I'd better qualify. Grief is good; you need to say goodbye and keep people in your heart at the same time.

Look after yourself.

You're not sat there thinking "I wish he was back and unhappy".
What you want is him back and a better world, for him, and for you.
You still ARE his sister, that is still a definition. Nothing will ever change that fact and as you go through life you'll use things he taught you.
Everybody leaves ripples in the world, even when they're gone, and as long as the ripples carry on, so do they.

It's certainly not selfish. I miss my dad sometimes and still think of him xx
