Dear 'big brother',
I'll always cherish my moments growing with you.
When I remember the love between you and I, I break down and cry.
It'll be so hard to move on even when my tears are dry.
You'll always be the one I'll miss!
And now that you're not here to hear me say:
'One more time I love your Bro'
I'll do so by blowing you a kiss each time that I'm thinking of you.
I'm praying that God will rest your soul in eternal peace...
Until we meet again!
