365 Day Project - Day 56

Pete
Today is the second anniversary of the sudden and untimely death of my brother.
I gathered with family and friends to celebrate his life and his memory today.
I took this photo of him on a trip to Mexico in 2005, he was 20.
To me, this sunny, tropical and carefree photo represents his life and personality in many ways. 
I also imagine it is what he looks like now, in heaven.
Pete was 23 when we lost him two years ago. This is the year I will grow older than my big brother.
He will live on in his fun-loving youth for eternity, and I know when I see him again he will look just like this - just waiting for me to join him in the next big party. 

I love and miss you, Pete. 
Your memory will be strong in my heart until I see you again.
Love, your little sis.
