I know you’ve already read this, but I feel others need to know of the great things you have taught me.

Today on Earth you would turn fifteen.  I don’t know how age works where you are.  From what I understand the world you are now in is timeless.  And why would you need to worry about time?  If your new life is eternal then time isn’t really important.  Luckily there is another thing that, like your new life, is eternal.  That other thing is love.  When you truly love someone, whether like a son, like a brother, or as a soul mate, that love will never end.  If you think about it even when a couple has troubles, most times the love they felt for each other from the beginning is still there.  Love is eternal, you are eternal, and some day I will be eternal.  But even though I am not yet eternal, my love for you always will be. 

I am proud to call you my brother, even though we never saw each other except in a dream.  It seems that you knew more about me than anyone does, and that is usually what a brother is like.  There were things you knew about me that even my parents don’t know.  If it weren’t so amazing it would have probably freaked me out, but it was the most amazing time of my life.  This is why I believe we are in another world before we get here, and that we meet people in the life before.  But when we get here we become mostly unconscious of the life before and the people we knew in it are scattered about.  I believe that when I used to sit around talking to someone in my room that I wasn’t just crazy as many believe.  I believe very much that you were the one I was talking to.  I feel like we knew each other in the life before this one and we got separated, but there was a part of me that was able to remember that I had a friend in the life before. 

Then came the dream that I had constantly.  I knew the boy in the dream, but I wasn’t sure who he was in my life until I met you and realized the similarities.  And when you told me about the exact shirt in the dream, I knew for a fact that the boy in the dream was you.  You knew everything about  me because in spirit we had been very close all our lives.  That’s what I believe from all that happened.  And the fact that when I was talking to you over Facebook the voice in my head stopped and I stopped talking to an empty room proves to me that you were the voice I was hearing all along.  The three weeks after your time here ended proved it even more.

    A super piece of writing. Moving and exceptionally well thought out. I think Alex would LOVE it…. In fact I KNOW he would and probably DOES.
