My Mom, My Brother, and Keagan
Today was a rough one. The roughest. I didn't know I could cry so many tears. My dear sweet brother left this earthly life and is now in his heavenly home. This post is just my thoughts to my brother. They're raw and from my heart. Philip you will always be Phibble to me. You are my big brother, my defender, my friend. I love you!

----------------------------------
Oh my sweet brother. Today the world
changed...my world changed...because you are no longer in it. You are
home with our Heavenly Father, doing his work and being an angel.
While on this Earth, you showed me strength and courage. Dear brother
you showed me the importance of family and sticking together through
thick and thin. I was your shadow...watching your every move. You
made mistakes, but you taught me from those mistakes. You were my
protector. You may have picked on me a wee bit, but if someone else
tried to pick on your little sister you showed them who was boss. My
heart breaks today brother because I had to say goodbye to you. I had
to say goodbye far too soon then I would have liked. You were an
uncle, a son, a friend, my brother. I love you always and forever. I
know that God has a plan and although this part I am walking through
now hurts more then I ever thought was possible, I know where you are
right now is a glorious place. A place where you will meet
God and have the Savior wrap his loving arms around you. This brings me so
much joy to know that my loving Savior is with you. You were not
alone when you left this life. You were accompanied by
angels....angels that guided you into the next life. I have a
testimony of God's plan for us. It is not always an easy journey to
be on. There are bumps and stumbles, but we get back up and we
persevere. I know this grief will soon pass....or at least dull as the
days go on. I know that the ache I feel, my Savior felt in the Garden
of Gethsemane. Brother I love you always and forever. I will hold the
fort down while you are gone. Till we meet again Philip.
XO Danielle
My heart aches for you and your family. You are in my thoughts. Julia X

So sorry for your loss!
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwww, Danielle. I am so sorry for your loss. I understand your loss. My sister, at the young age of 38, passed away unexpectedly. It was very painful and I cried--a lot. Like you I had my Faith to help console me. It would definitely have been too much to bear if I had not been able to believe she was with Jesus. The words from a song come to mind "On Christ the Solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand...." Hold tightly to those words and they will help you through this difficult time. What a beautiful tribute to your brother. God Bless you and your family during this painful time.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your lose. Keeping you & your family in my thoughts & prayers.

ReplyDeleteMy deepest condolences.
ReplyDeleteI know all too well the pain you are feeling, and nothing any of us can say will stop the hurt, but perhaps this will ease your heart a bit. Long story short, I lost my cousin and bestfriend, Debra, this past may at 39 years old. Debra has a wonderful Husband, beautiful 15 year old daughter, and a 13 year old son with a very rare disease, causing him to be severly disabled, but still a loving young man, with a godly heart. The morning after her passing, we all flocked to their home. Everyone was in a daze, struggling to be strong for her children. Her son, sensing how I was struggling, put his little arms around me, and told me "to be absent from the body is to be present with the lord" I hope this brings you a bit of comfort.
ReplyDeleteHeather

ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss! My thought and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

ReplyDeleteOh Danielle! My heart is breaking for you and your family! "Heavenly Father, bring a comfort that can only come from you straight to Danielle and her family members right at this moment. Give them peace and wrap your loving, comforting arms around them."
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to read about your brother. My thoughts are with you and your family.
ReplyDeleteSomeone wise once said to me when I was grieving a loved one... "Everyone has a light. Some shine brighter than others and because of that, they tend to burn out a little quicker...". I wish you peace.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your brother! :(
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteSending all my hugs and prayers for you and your family
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteI've had several deaths in my family & these verses from the Bible have always brought me comfort:
Revelation 21:4 (death & mourning done away with);
John 5:28,29; Acts 24:15 (the wonderful hope of the resurrection);
Ecclesiastes 9:5,10 (the condition of the dead awaiting resurrection); and
Psalm 37:9-11, 29; Proverbs 2:20-22 (the beautiful hope of the future paradise on earth once again).
Keeping a Bible close at hand to read, relying on my Grand Creator & Almighty Instructor (Psalm 83:18), & speaking with him daily in heartfelt prayer gives me the will to go on.
Aww, I'm so sorry and my heart hurts for you. I'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteOh my. No words. Anyone with a brother knows the special sent-from-above bond between a brother and a sister. I cannot even imagine. My heart aches for you. So very sorry for you and your family, for your loss.
ReplyDeleteoh Danielle and family I am so sorry to hear this! prayers, hugs and peace that only He can give y'all! I pray that you feel when Abba wraps y'all in His loving arms and comforts you thru such a hard time.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry Danielle :(
ReplyDeleteOh heavens, my dear! I wish you and your family the best. I simply cannot imagine your pain and loss.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry, Danielle. My heart is aching for you. I have lost close loved ones and know the hurt and pain that comes with experiencing that. Please know that you and your family have been in my prayers. May you find comfort in the precious memories you hold of your brother and in knowing that he is at peace with our Savior's loving arms surrounding him. Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteI know that it is crazy, but I feel as if I know you on a personal level. I am praying for you and your family. I am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteCondolences to you and your family...
