You came into my life like a storm
That only lasted a few months.
When you smiled, lightning flashed bright,
But when you cried, thunder shook my world.
No matter what it was, I couldn’t stand it.
If only I knew how much time I had
Left with you…….

I knew you weren’t going to live long
But I didn’t know it was going
To be this short. I was young but I
Understood why you left me,
Alone, by myself. I cried and cried,
But I could not bring you back to my
Life. I missed you too much…….

Life without you is…
Difficult
Confusing
Sad
And heartbreaking. But I have gotten
Older, and I moved on. But I haven’t forgotten
You. I miss you still and I hope you know I’m
Your sister. I love you and hope to see
You in a better place……

This is to my baby brother. He died May 8, 2002 by a disease called S.I.D.S. S.I.D.S is also known as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. He only lived to be 2 months and 22 days old..I love him and miss him, but I'll never forget him
