I would be honored if one of my siblings would say something similar about me. He must have been very special.

I totally understand what you mean about thinking you can't wait to share something with him and then getting hit with the realization that he is gone. It takes time for that loss to become real. I have been there, too.

Maybe you could write a post later with some memorable stories about him so that we can enjoy learning more about him? I, for one, would enjoy that.

I think the most wonderful description you wrote was, " He loved and was loved. " To me, that sums up a life well-lived. I aspire to that end myself.

Again, thank you for sharing. He sounds like a very special man.
