I've put an unimaginable week behind me and I will post about all of it very soon. Sometimes it takes me a while to process traumatic life events. Suffice to say is I almost lost my life in hospital after an emergency situation and then a few days later my beloved brother died from a brutal effing cancer.
Here is a tribute I wrote for his funeral service tomorrow.
You left us quietly as you came
Uncomplaining, gently strong,
And you will never know the depth
Of all you left behind for us.
The length of our grief is measured
In our loss and pain and love
But you would tell us to cop it
And laugh at an old joke instead.
Your light is not extinguished
It burns brightly in all the hearts
Who loved you, for all you brought -
Kindness and compassion and care.
Soar with the stars, our Tony
Your earth journey is over
You were the best of us
And your legacy sustains us
Forever.
