Today is a very special day. It is the 30th birthday of a young man.
But he doesn’t know. He is not aware.
He is alive but he has no life. He is breathing, eating and sleeping like the rest of us but who knows what he feels, if he feels or if he even knows. Does he hear the people talking to him? Does he understand what they say? Or is he simply locked in his own world?
Locked in a body that doesn’t obey him. Locked in a brain that doesn’t function properly.
I love him dearly. I love him with all of my heart and yet my only wish is that he would close his eyes one night and go to sleep forever. Forgive me, Baby Brother, for not being there for you. Forgive for not having the strength. I wish you a happy birthday, in your own world, but I will never tell you. I can’t.
I can’t look into your beautiful big brown eyes and not know what you are thinking. Not know what you know. Not know if you know me at all.
Please forgive me… I love you.
