It's Elvis songs that remind me of my big bro (he died at the age of 47 from lymph cancer), in particular 'Wooden Heart' because he was always singing that. Whenever I hear it now, it reminds me of all the fantastic seaside holidays we shared as children. <br /><br />It's early days for you but I hope that soon only smiles will replace the tears when you think of him.Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05908084484202064053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446070095733469795.post-83507348584482171352010-02-25T04:10:36.913-05:002010-02-25T04:10:36.913-05:00Aww see ... it's thoughts like this and memori...Aww see ... it's thoughts like this and memories that fill up that brother sized hole!<br /><br />blessings!SweetPeaSurryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193034370248526025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446070095733469795.post-55075275156240564152010-02-25T02:03:56.626-05:002010-02-25T02:03:56.626-05:00Nice remembrance, Irish...but what do you mean he ...Nice remembrance, Irish...but what do you mean he most likely died of a heart attack...aren't you sure?♥ Brajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693196044262677095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446070095733469795.post-25003940571352272772010-02-25T01:54:17.611-05:002010-02-25T01:54:17.611-05:00And perhaps now your brother and Freddie Mercury p...And perhaps now your brother and Freddie Mercury play in the same band!Mike McLarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881672365554137673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446070095733469795.post-51972883207444952102010-02-25T01:26:26.554-05:002010-02-25T01:26:26.554-05:00Have you ever watched "My Sister's Keeper...Have you ever watched "My Sister's Keeper?" it's so heartbreaking, kinda chick flicky, so I wouldn't be surprised if you didnt.
