Remembering My Brother Tommy ❤️
Today, my heart is heavy as I try to put into words what it feels like to lose my brother, Tommy
There are some people in our lives whose presence becomes such a natural part of our world that we can’t imagine life without them. Tommy was one of those people. His laughter, his advice, his jokes, and all the little things that made him who he was will stay with us forever.
Ricky will especially miss their daily visits. Sitting together in the chairs under the trees, talking about everything and nothing, watching the news, and just enjoying each other’s company. Those simple everyday moments meant so much. In the winter, they would sit together watching cowboy shows, and when the weather was warm, they worked side by side in the garden. These may seem like ordinary moments to some, but they are the memories that will now mean the most.
Ricky will miss hearing Tom’s laugh. He will miss his stories, his sense of humor, his advice, and those jokes that could bring a smile even on an ordinary day. He will miss having his brother there to share those quiet moments and everyday adventures.
Our hearts are broken, and there is an emptiness that words cannot fill. Losing someone you love is never easy, and losing a brother leaves a place in your heart that can never truly be replaced.
But even through the sadness, there is some comfort in knowing that Tommy is at peace. He is not in pain, and he can rest peacefully.
Tommy, you will be deeply missed and forever loved. Your laughter will echo in our memories. Your advice will stay with us. Your jokes will still make us smile. And every time we sit beneath those trees, watch the news or a cowboy show, or work in the garden, we will think of you.
Thank you for all the memories, all the laughs, all the conversations, and all the time we were blessed to have together.
Until we meet again, brother. ❤️
Rest peacefully, Tommy. You will always be a part of us, and you will never be forgotten.
Ricky

This month is full of celebrations.

This Monday we celebrated Ricky’s birthday. A big happy belated birthday to Ricky (my dad).

But today is a special day to celebrate Grandma Rita’s heavenly birthday . She would have been 88 today. Those who have passed we keep alive through our memories. Let’s keep her alive on her birthday by sharing a little memory you have of her.

I have so many memories I could share. But as I drink my coffee and eat my eggs for breakfast. I will share my memories of running out to Friendly’s most mornings to grab breakfast. We used to take piper with us (if you remember her). Sometimes we would go for a ride to “get milk “ after dark and that really meant go get an ice cream from Stewart’s and watch her play scratch offs.
❤️ I miss my grandma. She gave the best hugs.
