Hey Mikey

I think some days go by where I busy myself so that I don't have to think or feel the pain associated with the loss of my brother Mikey. Then at the end of the day it will hit me and I unload in a heap of tears.
I know there are many others out there experiencing the loss of a loved one or a difficult family situation and for all of you I say and try to believe "we will make it through this".

Hey man!
Today was hard. In every instance that I had a second to close my eyes, you were there. In every conversation, you were there. I stopped by and picked Dad up for church (that's right he goes now), you would be so shocked lol! He actually enjoys it. It's precious time spent with him. I know you would have loved to take these trips with us.
Dad is still having a hard time but he is getting stronger. After all you and Lonnie were his best friends and you guys had to go on just a month apart. Couldn't you have spaced it out a bit? I know, I know, you're a Lewis and that's how you roll. =)
You know I missed your visit at Mom and Dad's that night because I was asleep. I wish you would have woke me up and we could have had one last conversation, why didn't you?
I promise I never let Dad see me like this. I am tuff (you would be proud).

Mikey, I am getting to know a new me and she is strange and unfamiliar but she is who I have become. The me that no longer has a brother (here on earth), the single M in the M&M gang. I miss you.
I will forever be thankful for the day you went forward and accepted Jesus Christ in your heart. Can't wait to see you bub!
