On this date seven years ago, at 11pm, I received a blessing that goes beyond human comprehension. October 12, 2007 was the last time I would hear my brothers voice; he was murdered the next morning, but remained on life support until we faced the music on the 17th. The blessing I received was a half-hour phone he and I had. In that half-hour, I was able to: Tell him how much I love him, how much I look up to him, thankful for what he has taught me, grateful for the advice he has given me, making me want to play the drums and last but not least - Being the best brother a person could ever have...and thats why he meant the world to me. I had NO IDEA this would be the last time I would hear his voice...and to be honest - Im glad I had no idea. If I had known that that would be our last conversation, I wouldve been so busy thinking of what to say....I wouldve said nothing at all. Now, I have no opportunity to say anything, I have no opportunity to hear his response. What I do have, though, is worth so much more: He is in my thoughts, dreams, prayers and other subtleties throughout my day. The biggest blessing of all, however, is this - after I told him all these things, he thanked me, laughed and said he loved me too. I hear him say that at least five times a day. Money cant buy that. Nothing can - that is unconditional love and it is with me everywhere I go - because he is there with me. RIP Bryan. Till next time....
