In memory of: Michael Provo by Brandon Provo
Michael, I miss you everyday. You were and are MY person, and just being around you took away all of the stress and anxiety of life. When we were together no one else mattered, it was us versus the world. I see now that together, we gave each other everything that our parents neglected to give us, and perhaps that is were our soul bond grew from. My childhood was a happy one, only because of you. I have no memories before seeing you in the NICU, on deaths doorstep at 6 weeks old, and as I stared into your eyes, my heart shattered into a million pieces. I vowed that day to protect you, and keep you safe so you’ll never end up here again. I can only hope now, that you felt that love, and that you know that you will always be more than a brother to me. Together we experience some of the best things this life can offer, we had real fun together. Whether we were on a spontaneous adventure, or just spending time together, it didn’t matter, it was always the best time. However, now that you are gone, I only feel halfway here, never able to reach that happiness again. But I did have it, and I cherish that fact. I had something many people spend their lives looking for, just that pure and unconditional love. There is nothing in the cosmos that could change that. If it wasn’t for you, I’m not sure I would know what real love is. I was recently told that Grief is the feeling you get when your love has nowhere to go, and I think that’s true. I thank you so much for the time we had together, and everything that you gave me. I lived a full life with you, and now I am just on bonus time. Until we meet again, I will love you always. XOXOXO
Miss you Bro, and Love you Bunches – Your Brother Brandon
