There is something very powerful about holding and being present with someone else's suffering. I am grateful I have had the chance to practice this in my work as it prepared me to be there in this way for my brother. Honoring pain, is the path to healing. My brother carried so much pain. It must of felt too great a burden. So now I carry some of his pain with me, and I honor it, and give love to all those painful parts. Oh my beautiful brother, I love you. I will miss your beautiful voice, your dance moves, your teasing, and even the moments you tried to push people away with words. I am sad about all of the missed opportunities to extend love. I take all the pain and all the love to do good, to do better, to help and reach out to those who are suffering. Thank you for waking me up to all the love that still needs giving.
