Hi Dave, take heart that, in only a few years, it will change to being a day when you remember good things, funny things, things he still owes you! That's how it now is for me and me little sister. It has become a special day NOT a feared one.

Dave, the first birthday and Christmas after their death are the hardest then it is as Fletty says.
Hang in there Buddy, it get's easier.
Pete.
G'Day Dave,
The fact that today was a bit raw just goes to show you & your brother had, or is that, have a special bond.
Hold onto that love and remind yourself of the good and fun times.
Cheers, Peter
A hard day but it shows you care and how much you still love him
But as others have said its good to remember the good the bad and the fun
Thanks all for your comments. There are some good times and good stories to tell. I have to write a few of these memories down.

I am still giving this one thought. As kids we had an extremely disfunctional childhood. Very few friends and almost none in common. Our child life was mostly just the two of us and no one to reminisce with. Our adult life early years was mostly the two of us and my ex who I have not seen in many years and no idea where she lives. Still i could just talk and record on my phone. Hope you having a good tripQuote:

At the price these were sold for it is a real gift. Thankyou Paul. These will hold a special place close by a coping saw made by Ian

It was a stinker in Sydney yesterday. Much more pleasant this morning. The reason for my trip to Sydney this time was for the interment of my brother's ashes. Despite the heat that is what 4 of the closest family did. The plaque was stuck in place as we were there thus the masking tape

Claudia had her daughter moved to the same wall and she was placed lose by as you see. Jade loved the setting

On Monday I hope to get past there again perhaps with Uncle Al and get a better pic of the plaque.
Really looking forward to seeing some of my fine woodworking family at Katoomba tomorrow.

It was a harder day for my SIL.
On a brighter note, love him (my brother) as much as she does my SIL has had someone else walk into her life. He is a terrific bloke and I'm very happy them both. So much can change in such a short time

The benefit could be us or a loved one.
