Found a message from my brother in a record

So I've been given my brothers records, because, well, who else would they go to?

I was putting on Lou Reed's Transformer, a record we'd listen to together growing up.

And I got a note

"Tom, you've got the strongest resolve of anyone I've ever met. You can do this"

I'm pretty teary right now but it's strengthened my motivation.

No relapse, no surrender.

Tom.

What a WONDERFUL GIFT it is to have
a BROTHER. A Sibling. To also know
that he will ALWAYS be with you in
your Heart, Mind and Soul.

You've been set on a path of recovery,
a Journey that you can share with him
in all you do and with every step you
take.

What's so comforting to know is that
you are NEVER, EVER, ALONE.

That is awesome! While it's hard to lose someone I hope that you're able to think of the good times with him. It sounds corny I know but the ones we love never really leave us when the die- they just move into our hearts and souls.
