Happy birthday Loren, I miss you more and more as the years go by ♥

September 26, 2010

Dear Loren,

As I write this, I am fighting back the tears as memories that I have kept under lock and key for a good portion of the last nine years have come flooding back all of a sudden. Has it really been close to nine years? Time goes by so fast and so much has happened since you left, I really wish that I could just sit with you and tell you everything about what's been going on with my life.

I wish you a happy birthday my dear sister, you would have been 23, a university graduate, traveler, dreamer and possibly a heartbreaker. As your older brother, I probably would not have had to do a lot to keep the boys at bay as Im sure that you would have done an excellent job of keeping them all in line. Loubelle and Lorel are certainly holding their own and they are both doing just fine. They've grown up beautifully Loren, I really wish that you could see them. They miss you too, so do Mom and Dad. I miss you so much as well. I know one day we'll meet again, but until that day comes, I am going to appreciate each moment and really take advantage of every single day, enjoying the company of the friends and family around me as well as the opportunities that come my way that I am extremely grateful for.

In the past, I was always afraid that I would forget you, forget the sound of your voice, your laughter and how you would sit on your chair as you listened to me go on and on about some random story. Over the years however, those memories have stayed with me and I still remember your beautiful smiling face as if it were yesterday.

Til we meet again...

Your brother,

Kuya
