An important day for me

An important day for me
By Nerea

Posted 9/25/12 2090 views

I try not to get too personal/deep on here, but I found something so precious today that I had to share. In an old storage box, my grandmother found the only picture of my brother that exists. I won't get into the details, but I haven't seen my brother since I was five. We thought all of his pictures had been destroyed, so when we found one, it was so incredible. I had forgotten what he looked like, and how we could have passed for twins back then. Needless to say, I've had an emotional day.

I'm going to go a bit emotional on you for a minute. Treasure your family if you still can. I know that there are some circumstances in life that make it impossible to be around your family, but if you're able to see your siblings or your parents, you need to. You need to seize every moment you have, because you never know when you'll never be able to see them again. I only got 5 years with my brother. I don't have my mother or my father. All I'm trying to say is, take the time to pick up the phone and call your loved ones. Spend as much time as you're able to with them. Life can change drastically in minutes, and you can't change it once it happens.

Very true. You have had a very difficult time in your childhood-and I call it that because you are so young. It must have been very difficult for you and I hope that posting what you did helps you to deal with your loss. I am always here for you if you need to talk. Just e-mail me-I care for you!

I'm so sorry to hear about you and your brother not being together .... I know how lonely it feels because I was an only child when I was young ....I just wanted someone to talk to it didn't matter if I had a sister or brother ....but I guess it made me stronger so that I could endure the hardships I have faced in my life ..... Only God knows why things have happened the way they did ... And as far as a Mother and Father ... Well my Father left when I was 2 and I never saw him in my whole life and my Mother and I didn't have a good relationship until later on in life .... As far as the rest of my family they all died off in the last 10 years and I have been in California for the last 10 years (I'm from the East Coast) so I never got to say goodbye or goto their funerals and about 2 years ago my Mom had a heart attack and died and they brought her back but she was dead so long from the time they found her that there was so much brain damage that they said she would be in a coma for the rest of her life and even if she were to come out of it she would never have a normal life .... So being the only son and with no Husband I was the only one who could make that decision so I did what I think she would have wanted me to do and I kissed her and held her until she was gone ... And now I miss her a lot ....And I feel really lonely and hollow since I am the last one left out of my family

So when you made this blog it really struck a chord with me because I know exactly how you feel and your so right how you should be thankful for they family that you have

My words for you and I hope they help you in your life are .....

Don't think about the past to much or what you have lost think about what you have right here and now and the people who need you .... You are more important than you know and you matter more than you think you do ... Keep moving forward don't go backwards ... You will see them all again I promise you

and all that you have forgotten you will remember ... So go have the time of your life .... Live life to the fullest its what they would want for you

Nerea your beautiful inside and out don't ever forget that.

I try not to be sad. It's just rough when you lose family. It made me feel almost sick when I realized I didn't even remember what my brother looked like. I just always feel the need to tell people to cherish their loved ones. I don't want anyone feeling sorry for me or anything. I have a great life, with great friends. But sometimes, I just wish I could spend time with some of the people I've lost.
I love you guys, and thanks for reading. I love my WAM community

Your thoughts on the importance of family are so true. Photos are an important link to our past and loved ones who are no longer with us. That's why people grab the photo albums when there's a fire or flood.
I have an ancient cassette with the only recording of my mother's voice. I treasure it, but tapes decay and break. That's why I digitized it and gave copies to all my siblings.
Scan those photos and digitize those videotapes. Make tons of backups.
