Today would have been my Brothers 24th Birthday

[NaomiMcCartney]

:birthday: It's hard to believe that if my brother were still alive, he would be 24 years old today. In fact since he's now living in the spirit world, he's considered to be infinity years old, (unless you believe in reincarnation). I feel he's still living in the spirit world watching over the family including me, as well as a few friends of his. I also believe he's doing whatever he's meant to be doing, as well as enjoying himself. I sure hope he's going to have a bit of a party with fellow relatives and new friends who've passed away too. It just is hard not being able to see him on this fine day. Then again, I can still sense him right here with me watching me type this post in his memory of his life. He truly is a beautiful soul, and I sure wish you guys could have met him in this wonderful beautiful site called Beatle links. Like me he also is a Beatles fan, and he reminded me of George Harrison in so many ways. Spiritual, down to earth, and funny, with true talent as a poet, artist, and guitarist he truly is. He sure is missed, and before I know it, it will be two years since he passed away in September 14th 2003. He not only passed away, his pain belifted him, and he became free to feel peaceful and joy all at the same time. God bless my brother Collin, for my love for him shall never die. :heart2: :angel2:

I guess nobody seems to know what to say in regards to this topic. :nono3: I'd think I'd have at least one or two replies. :afraid2: It's ok, I'll just have to wait and see. :wink2:

Naomi I am sure everyone is thinking about you and Collin, nothing can express the pain you must feel.

I am thinking about you and him.

[sourmilkpinky]

Always keep him in your heart...happy birthday Collin

[DizzymissLizzy909]

It's really nice that you're still keeping him in your memory, Naomi, and I know he'll always be there. Happy birthday, Colin.

Colin will be proud about this post Naomi...you describe your feelings really beautiful.

To feel that he is with you is something very special and it makes the missing less difficult. In stead of having him around you, which is a miss no one can describe..you will now grow on other feelings about him..and still feel him close with you

[wednesdaymorning]

Well happy birthday to him. Wherever he may be. I admire your strength. You're a great sister and I'm sure he knows it.

:heart1: For sure Collin is so happy seeing that you will keep him into your heart for the rest of your life, and not in a sad way but with lots of love and good feelings, and that´s the best birthday present that you could give him :heart1:

So one day later but...HAPPY BIRTHDAY Collin!!!!!!

[Loony_leo]

Okay Naomi this is going to sound weird but.... I am sure that Collin nows you are thinking about him, and that the good vibrations from this lovely post will have reached him where ever he may be.

It's good of you to keep him in your heart!

What a lovely tribute to your brother, Naomi. I'm sure that he is very happy that you are thinking of him, and that you keep his memory close to your heart. I hope that you had a nice time remembering him on the day that marked that special occasion. All the best to you! *hug* I'm sure that he would have loved your tribute, and that he is very proud of you, and all that you have accomplished/become...

Thanks for your post Naomi, a friend passed away this week (24 years old too) and it's good to hear that your memories of your brother are so strong and have given you so much resilience.

Oh I'm so sorry about your friend. Death can really change things in your life. I know my brother will always be in my heart, and I'm sure you will keep your friend in your heart as well. If you ever want to talk about your friend who passed away, feel free to by messageing me.

These lyrics mean a lot to me regarding three very special friends of mine that have departed this mortal coil. They were much too young. Naomi, my thoughts are with you also!

[NaomiMcCartney]

All of you are such beautiful souls. Thanks for being so kind to me.
