my brother

well, as some of you have noticed, i haven't blogged in quite a while. life has just been too crazy lately. at first school was just super busy & hard. but then the unimaginable happened. saturday night (3.5.11) i heard the worst phone call ever. the news was that my brother, cameron, was in a serious motorcycle accident with severe head & neck injuries. i drove the hour, straight to the hospital & stayed there until i got home at 3 in the morning. the next few days were relatively the same & i was in shock & i was numb. he suffered significant brain damage & did not wake up from a coma. he passed away late monday night (3.7.11) at 24 years old.

although he was not my brother by blood, he was part of my family. & honestly i can't put into words how i feel just yet. it's a mix of so many emotions. but now i feel like i have a hole in my heart where he was. but day by day it's starting to get better. i actually started this post 5 days ago, but i couldn't finish it. but today i felt like i was finally ready to tell you about it. i just needed someone to listen. thanks : )

cameron bought me my diana f+ camera & i plan to use much more often. every time i do, i'll think of him : )

i'll be replying to all of your comments soon : ) it's been a while & i'm ready to get back to blogging.

  3. Oh Cameron, you will be missed. He was so good to you Lina :) I think of him at random times too, like when I was shopping the clothing tag said "made in Jordan" and I thought of him :)

  10. Lina! I'm so sorry, I know those words are said so often in times like this, but I am. I can only imagine how hard it must be losing your brother. I don't know what I'd do if my brother died. Brothers are an amazing part of a family, and I'm sure he was an amazing person!

    If you ever need someone to talk to I'm here.

    May his memory be eternal.
