Just need to say it to someone outside my box

sometimes I need to be slapped

Thank you everyone for the kind replies. It has been a rough 8 years since we lost my brother. He was the good kid in the family, the rest of us not so much, lol. We all turned out pretty good but not as great as he would have been. I think I will make this post a little more coherent then send it in. I still miss my brother every day, most days are good days but every now and then it is a bad day.

Forgiveness is not something that will likely ever happen. The man that killed my brother had 4 prior DWI's and one with a minor child in he vehicle. He had his 6 year old son in the truck with him on the other occasion he was caught on the wrong side of he same highway that my brother was killed. I'm sure he had gotten away with it a hundred other times and never thought anything of it. He has no remorse for what he did, his remorse is because he got caught, he said as much in a letter he wrote to us after he was put in prison.

Avalon, I can't imagine what it would have been like if he had walked free because he "felt guilt". The families deserve more than that, you deserve more than that.

QuinnP, there is no slapping needed. You just said what I feel should happen but in a much nicer way

I agree, just send them this post. I have tears in my eyes! My youngest son lights up when he hears "Uncle" so your 'more than strawberries' hits home.

So sorry for your loss.
