Not sure what to say?

Dear little brother, 7 years now without you, without your laugh, your smile, your jokes, your hugs. Life has changed a lot. I had a little girl and I know you would adore her. She's a stinker. I pray that her twin sister is with you, as she was too beautiful for rather and couldn't come home with us. I named her Erica in memory of you. No thing is the same. The holidays are not what they once were, your absence is felt all the time. I don't think it really gets easier having lost a sibling,...

Dad its years now after youve passed and for some reason now it is sinking in for me like never before. I am a man now and I want to say I truly adore you and what you were for me. I miss you more than I can put into words and please wait for me up there. I love you dad I will always give it my all down here until then
