Four years ago on May 17, 2006 my brother was killed in a plane crash.
That summer was a rough one, but also amazing in the same breath.
Our town united and it brought so much of us closer together.
We did many toasts, shots and had moments of shared laughter, tears and heartache.
Life would forever be different.
Today it has been four years since my brother left this world and entered another.
Not a day goes by without at least a hundred thoughts about him.
He was amazing. He was beautiful. He was my hero.
Each and everyday I am grateful for the time we had together.
The fights, the screaming, the pushing, the pulling.
The laughter, the sibling bond.
The jokes, the quirks.
The trouble, the mischief.
The Christmas mornings, the looks only we knew.
The parties, the inclusion.
The love.
So in honour of my brother today I'm going to share some old memories!

May all who loved him reach out to each other today and every day, it's how best to keep him with you.
Really, I appreciated each photo.

This is such a beautiful post. It's great you guys were able to have such a close relationship together. He sounds/looks like he was a lot of fun and brought joy and laughter to everyone's lives. Thinking of you and your family today. (hugs)
Such a nice post to honor your brother's memory. And what cute pictures - you have such a good looking family!
I know he's with you - not just on days like today - but always. And I know you and your family will always keep memories of him alive.
Tomorrow's my brother's birthday and I wrote a post for it. Reading this after writing it makes me especially grateful for him - thank you for the reminder to enjoy the good and the bad moments of siblinghood. And life in general.
Hugs to you today!
Beautiful. It sounds and looks like you guys were so close and shared such a close bond. I can't imagine how hard it was.. but I am so happy to see you remembering him in such a bright light. Thoughts of love for you today <3
Thank you for sharing some photos of Kyle with us, I have a brother and he is a major pain in the bum but I don't like to think of life without him around to annoy me, so I can feel your pain.
thank you for sharing Kyle with us. it sounds like he was an amazing person, and it's so wonderful that you had such a special bond with him. thinking of you, my dear. <3
I can't imagine how hard this must be for you. Thank you for sharing your memories with us. He sounds like an amazing person and I'm so very sorry he was taken away from you too soon. My thoughts are with you and your family today. Sending you hugs and love.
This is the first time I've checked out your blog- from the link at Ro Gets Fit.
I read your post and it made me tear up and I just wanted to send e-hugs your way. I cannot imagine what you and your family have been through. God heals all wounds.
I read this yesterday and I was thinking about you all day. Thoughts and prayers are for you!
reading this today is surreal. today's the 5th anniversary of a friend of a friend's passing. death in the prime of life is always tragic. however, knowing how much you (and erin) cared about your loved one's and are willing to share that love, reminds me there is still some good left in the world *hugs* your brother was a lucky guy to have such an awesome family
