We lost our 5th …
We lost our 5th …
We were 5 and now we are 4. He was brutally taken from us. Addiction? Mental Illness? Depression? Does it matter ?
We were 5 , we rode our bikes , we flew kites, we teased each other… We were close…than suddenly , we weren’t . Life took over , marriage, children, careers, commitments .
Our differences interfered with precious moments that should have been shared together as 5.
Time slipped away , and so did he..
Now we are 4…..Oh how I wish we could be 5 .. if only for a while longer ……..❤️
To my brother Mario.. until we meet again ….
