Ryan Scott Thiel
You’ve been on my mind today
It always happens on more Veterans Day and Memorial Day and of course your Birthday
All i can do is remember.
You’ll never know how much i miss you
You were the brother i always wanted and never had.
We chose each other for whatever reason
i miss you sleeping on my couch just so you could wake up and watch cartoons with lilman
i miss the fun and the talks we had
discussing your hopes and dreams for the future
always pointing out the possible Future Mrs. Thiel when we went out
I miss the way youd let me win at video games and then grin and deny it
your hug and your smile are gone forever they live only in my memory
its not right that lilman doesnt really remember you
he should have his ‘Uncle Ryan’
i should have my chosen brother
i miss you so much
i never wanted to know what my life would be like w/o you
i know if theres a Heaven that your up there
you always had faith enough for us all
this world is so much dimmer without you in it
its so hard to believe youve been gone nearly 8 years
perhaps in the next life youll be my brother by blood as well as by heart
your always in my heart
Namaste
J
