There will be another Spring...

Kyle      
But there will never, ever be another you.  That's part of an old lyric, you know.  And true.  And sad.

So a year ago, we lost Kyle.  It doesn't seem possible that a child you had such great hopes for (as we did all of our "boys") could be gone.  I remember laughing with him, arguing with him, being more frustrated than I could believe with him, and loving him.

He had many talents, an incredible sense of fairness, and demons that none of us will ever know.  His brothers loved him and tried
to help him and hopefully still have some happy memories of old times.  He was the only person I ever knew who could walk up and pet a robin on the head!  Uncanny.  And that smile!

Dad and I miss you.  Don Williams wrote and sang a song and the words of the chorus are haunting -

"Some broken hearts never mend,
Some memories never end,
Some tears will never dry
And my love for you will never die."

I'm one of those boys. And I, like the other two, miss my brother. Two of us spoke of Ky yesterday, and laughed. In my case, for the first time since last year. We love you, Ma. Remember that.

Norm said the sadness comes in waves. Kyle waves at us all this week. I seem to be waving back. Love BC
