Tribute to Shane!

I had posted a Tribute to my Twin Brother Shane, but it got lost when I accidently deleted my blog! So here I am making a new one... It's been three months since Shane's passing and my emotions are still mixed and the loss of him is so hard!

Sadly Shane lost his life on June 11th, 2006 after crashing his vehicle into a lake in Indiana at about 3:ooam. Shane leaves behind his kindness, warmth and willingness to help others during his time with us. My bond with my Brother was and will remain the strongest of any bond I have or will ever have with anyone! Shane is not just my Brother, he is my best friend and true heroes. Throughout life I depended on Shane for so much during the good, the bad and what ever life would send my way. No matter what it was, he would always be there for me when ever I needed his support, he is the one person that has truly been my complete support my entire life.

To describe my brother is not easy as he was so wonderful in my eyes. I can think of his kindness and willingness to help strangers during their times of need or hardship. Shane would help anyone if he could, so many times I can remember him giving money to a complete stranger on the street or pulling over on the side of the road to change a tire. He never asked for anything in return but a thank you! He was always a wonderful father to his children, although life had thrown some curves his way he was always there for his children whenever possible. He was truly out spoken and would speak his mind, he didn't live in a fairy tale world!

My life is truly changed since Shane's passing, the death of one so close really has changed my outlook on life and my future. I have thought about all the things I didn't get to say or do with my brother, when he was here we lived life as it would never end and counted on the other being there till the end! And sadly the end came for Shane much soon then I could have ever imagined.

Will I see my brother again? Well this is something that I truly wonder! I don't know if there is a heaven or a hell. But one thing I do believe is there is some sort of after life, and what ever it is my brother is there living whats next. He has the answers to the many questions we all have in our lives. There won't be a day that goes by that my brother will be forgotten, his memory will always live on in me! I am so thankful for every memory of my brother and appreciate everything he was able to do in this life!
