Without a doubt!<br /><br />BTW, I enjoyed your interview on Esdeer.com. I feel like we've met now:)Alicia Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07982263115260422701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1428932400678878319.post-62221536135397440732011-03-01T13:53:51.532-08:002011-03-01T13:53:51.532-08:00Great post.

Of my brother I have a jumper I gave him one xmas that I still wear, a photo album full of photos that I never really look at, a piece of the melted pavement from where his car burned out and a CD with his funeral songs. Everything else I gave away when I moved to Spain. Nothing was really hard for me to give up. I quickly realised that they were only physical things and that it's the meaning attached to them that have significance. What I've found ultimately more helpful is to create a new relationship with my brother based on the love we shared, the memories I have and find a way to use rituals that keep me connected to him. 9 years on I still feel close to him. He may be physically gone but he's spiritually and mentally still very much a part of my life.Tabitha Jaynehttp://www.tabithajayne.comnoreply@blogger.com
