My Story

Remembering you today, as if I could ever forget Phil, so physically painful, wish I knew why you couldn't live, too young, too good, too loved to die

I have no answers that don't hurt

He was born when I was sixteen, a freshman in high school. I remember being so humiliated that my mom was pregnant with a little boy..teenagers are normally embarrassed at this time by anything, little did I know how close he and I would become or how similar he and I were or how much I would love this little boy.  He had a thick head of italian dark hair, beautiful dark eyelashes, funny personality and he was very close to our mother.  When he was born he had lntestinal problems and was very fussy and uncomfortable..somehow I became his own personal sleep inducer. I would sit him on my legs and bounce him to sleep, we did this for months and that is where our bond was created. He adored me and I felt the same. I teased him with flowers..for some weird reason he was afraid of them as a toddler.

He endured some heartache growing up but my mom spent so much time teaching him, loving him and helped him become the wonderful person and man he was. He was diagnosed with Burkitts Lymphoma when he was 21 and endured almost two years of painful, grueling chemo and radiation. He also lived with me and my son during his treatment.I was pregnant with my daughter and can remember visiting him in the hospital most days of the week, cooking for him and I always cried leaving him there. He was a trooper and didn't complain, he joked about giving me his cancer and how what a sexy mofo he was, I was beyond impressed and it was the most devastating thing to see happen to him.

My mother found my brother no longer living on his couch at his apartment, we believe he passed away from a heart attack while he was sleeping..that is all I can allow my heart to believe. My best friend and son were with me when we walked in his living room. To say that was the most tragic sight I have ever seen is an understatement..my son is haunted by that day and I can only imagine in my wildest dreams what my poor mother felt holding her baby.

My brother was a nature enthusiast, survivalist, knifelover, old school hip/hop rap buff, humorous (called me a hodawg any chance he got) he was sensitive, selfless, handsome, hard worker and had more character than anyone I have ever met in my life. He was one of the few men in MY own life that I have ever sincerely loved and that I felt loved by. To say that you are missed is a pathetic attempt at the truth..I love you Philip, always have and always will...

Joy
