Last night my twin brother died after a long illness with Parkinson disease. It is hard to describe how I feel. Being a twin we were born on the same day and grew up together. But when he got married we drifter apart, I still visit him monthly and had limited contact with his wife and children.
However I remember him more as a companion when we were young. He was outgoing and guided me throughout life. He took me on many adventures so I would not be alone, in Scouts and sport. He was a great sportsman,playing field hockey and rowing in a lightweight crew. He was first to drive, dance and get married and unlike me had four children
He remain a Catholic all his life. However his wife and children did not practce How can I explain to them , he is in a better place. His earthly lost hurts but I know he is now likely to have a happier life. He is no longer old like me, but the young sportsman of his youth.
Should I be happy or sad. Perhaps a bit of both. I have lost one contact with him we shared on our life on earth But I hope I will renew this contact in heaven.
