Before and After

By BS

Before
My little brother was burned in the fire
 
After
I had felt that life could get no better
I felt that no one could have a better brother
I acted as if I lost my best friend
I wished I never had to experience this
I just wish I had one wish

    Sometimes In life things happen that we have no control over as human beings. Take in to consideration that no one has a perfect life. Instead of dwelling over things beyond our control, I suggest that we think positive and motivate ourselves to be strong willed for our loved ones, family, and friends.

    Dear BS,

    I wish I could comfort
    I believe in a day when life is breathed into souls who are sleeping in death
    and we can be with them once again.
    I want to give you this hope,
    that you will see your brother again.

    BS,
    I am sending all of my regards and sympathy to you in regards to your loss.
    I lost a friend to a tragic fire when I was young, and I am still very sad about it to this day.
    I want you to keep faith, and to also stay positive for your brother looking down on you. When the day comes for you two to see each other again, it will be like he never left you.
    Your brother is your guardian angel.
    Stay strong.

    -MM
