Hi Jay, and first let me say how sorry I am for your loss.
I can't imagine how it must feel to lose a sibling. I have two siblings myself, so I understand that we all must experience loss. It doesn't make it any easier to know the inevitable.

The way you wrote this letter that your brother, who no longer with us to read it, brought tears to my eyes. You wrote it in a heartfelt way. I'm sure that if there's a way, your brother is looking on and knowing your feelings and surly feels the same way too. I could feel the love between brother and brother in each and every stanza.

Through watery eyes, I read the emotions of love, regret, and the passing of life's moments. The sign of a great author is when they can write in a way that provokes these same emotions in the reader. You did that well.

The start of this tribute poem speaks of wishes that pain could have been mended. It's so true that words can cause pain, which can truly be sometimes more painful than wounds.

Brothers endured the same memories while growing up, and they eventually drifted apart. Later, they have regret for the moments wasted which they might have had together.

You said it well, that you new to grow stronger with every waking day. Though we can never forget memories, I'm sure it's good to also remember the good memories and to know that each brother surely also feels love of the brotherly bond that can never be erased.

I liked how your poem ended in peaceful thoughts of how you were thankful for being able to say you had a brother and that you are grateful and loving toward Ray. The carefully placed gentle rhyme added to the experience. Nice work.
