I just wanted to take a moment and write a special note. Today would've been my brother Rafe's 24th birthday. We miss him so much. He was brilliant, gentle, kind, creative... A wonderful brother. I could go on an on about him... and he'd probably get a kick out of it, too. ;)
My brother, Max, said a mass in memory of Rafe. A handful of people gathered in remembrance. It was nice to see familiar faces. It was nice to see how many people showed up. We all love him so.
We miss you, RafeBob. Our hearts ache wishing you were here with us today. I know you are having an amazing birthday with all the angels and saints and our Lord. Who could ask for a better party? Still I am selfish and wish we could be with you and hold you. Oh only to hear your voice again... and one of your clever random remarks...
Happy birthday, Rafe! I hope you're jammin', singin', and dancin' your day away in celebration. Until we meet again. Hugs to you. I miss you.
Much love,
~Julie Jean
