Thank you all. I’m still struggling a lot with words as my brain tries to make sense of a world without him but I appreciate all the thoughts very much.

I appreciate the care! I start to feel somewhat normal for about an hour or two yesterday cuz I did some charity which I highly recommend as therapy. It didn’t last but it was a temporary reprieve.

So sorry for your loss Jenny. Sending thoughts of peace for you & your family. What beautiful photos & memories you shared with just the few pictures above. I immediately recognized the Mark Twain & Frontierland railing in your first set. May the memories behind these photos be a comfort to you & buoy you up.

When I set out to do this comparison report never did I think I’d end up in the hospital let alone with my 38-year-old brother’s obituary. Sigh.
We did the Disney half marathon in Jan 2020 together; I don’t know where those photos are. But never will I forget when I ran the Madison Marathon (my only full) the way my brother who had finished WAY before me met me about a mile out and ran that last mile again with me with either his arm around me or his hand on my back pushing me up the last final hill to the capital, chanting “you got this” nor will I forget how he jumped the fencing at the finish (he didn’t want to run over the pads again to mess up his time so broke off right before that) and literally football style ran at me and tackled me in a huge hug literally lifting me off the ground he was so proud of me. I could have done it without him but it wouldn’t have been as fulfilling. That’s pretty much the way I feel about the rest of my life.

There is a Disney Magic cruise Jan 6-13 I couldn’t get out of. My mom is gonna stay home with my dad but DD15, DF and me are gonna go since I booked VGT and can’t transfer. Maybe it’ll help.
