Adam
I remember the day you posted that you didn’t think you would be on the forums for a while because they were rushing your brother to the hospital. Your anxiousness and worry were so evident that afternoon. I had sent off a PM with my expression of concern and support and then never knew anything more. Somehow I missed this thread when you first posted it in April. I just now saw this. My eyes are damp and my heart aches with you.
In July 1992 my father called me at work to tell me my sister Paula had been hurt in an accident at work. She had been flown downtown and was at a major medical center. I asked how bad was she hurt and my Dad said they did know for sure yet. The following afternoon they called us into a small room and told us they no longer wished to prolong our hope. They were taking her off the respirator, she was gone. I know well your sorrow and pain.
My little sister was also my closest friend. Twenty years on, the pain of our loss has never diminished, you simply come to expect it’s presence as a constant companion. And so should it be because our perpetual sorrow serves as a vessel within which we carry our love for our sibling and an everlasting reminder that the hollow space left vacant by their departure will never be filled by any one else for the rest of our days on earth. Comfort is not to be sought in attempts to escape the pain. Instead solace is found in gripping tight to and never releasing the love you had for one another.
Adam, I am so sorry for your loss. Your video was profoundly touching as well as inspiring. Others may find a yo-yo video a peculiar tribute for a loved one. However your reverence towards and deep affection for Derek was so evident throughout your presentation. Thank you so much for allowing me to sit in as a guest for your personal panegyric for your brother.
