Joel

My brother

my fellow traveller 

the calendar of my nativity

my constant

my one

my darling Joel

has died.

I don't yet know why or how.

But I know he's gone.

I'll be gone from the blog for a while.

Until then, hold your dear ones close to your heart.

Say "I love you" to the ones you love, 

just as my brother did every day of his life.
