Mr. T walked by and asked “why are your eyes wet?” and I had to tell him that I was trying my best not to cry, but Lily wrote just the most beautiful poem for me about Lee and it really touched me. As such, I’m sharing it with all of you – thank you Lily.
This is for Kate at https://didthatjusthappenblog.wordpress.com/ who lost her brother Lee recently. Even though we have never met I have been following Kate’s blog for a while and love her sense of humor even in the midst of her own personal sadness. I just read her last blog about Lee and all of a sudden these words came into my head. Maybe I am just the vessel and they are not my words but come directly from a brother to his sister.
This is so kind and touching. So nice that she did this for you.
Thanks, I thought so! I was amazed and very touched.
You have made some nice connections.
This made me get all choked up! Beautiful!!
Lily did a great job – I couldn’t help buy cry over it, even as I realized the even though my brother is gone, he’s still here with me. 🙂
Sorry that I made you cry Kate… I actually cried myself writing this. I wanted to tell you about a river back home in Ireland. It runs through my hometown Cork and it is called the river Lee. You can probably google it but I will try to take some pictures for you when I go home in a few weeks.
I think that would be lovely – and it was a good cry, cleansing!
