My heart breaks for you. With you. You write your story do honesty and eloquently, I feel like any more words from me would sound sloppy and stupid, so I will be silent and just feel with you. *hugs*

Perhaps the XNA terminal wasn’t the best place to read this. I am crying for all that you went through then. I am crying for what tomorrow is. I am thinking of you. He was a good person and the way you cared for him is a testament to that. Our Isaiah will one day really know his namesake.

Jasmine, thank you for sharing this story. Your brother would like his story told, I’m sure. We all want to be remembered. To tell a story like this takes courage. To live with it takes more courage. You have a lot of courage lady.
I’m proud to know you. Your family will always need you, that lesson you have down, it is clear. Remember that asking for help can actually be harder. When you get to the place where you need help, please be sure to ask. You will get what you ask for. You are an amazing person. You represent your brother well. I know that he would be proud of you.

I know that was the hardest thing you have ever done, I should have been right there, supporting you but I wasn’t. I wasn’t at his celebration of life either. I am ashamed of myself for that and have agonized over it to this day. I wasn’t ready to celebrate his life, he was dead. I wasn’t ready to be around a bunch of happy people, I was sad. I wasn’t ready to be strong, I was weak. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye, he was too young. No one can truly “relate” to you and your story about Isaiah, because they did not have a brother like you and a relationship like the two of you that only grew closer when he got sick. I can close my eyes and still see him grinning ear to ear, cutting up with Cassius, imitating characters from TV. Hard to believe he would be 25 tomorrow….. xoxoxoxo

Jasmine:
These are the deaths that are the hardest, the young with so much potential. Thank you for sharing your heart, I am glad to understand a little more of your story. Such a burden to carry, so much responsibility at such an age. My brother also passed away, though he lived longer than we ever expected.
