Fallen Brother
My brother, Courtney Finch, died in Iraq in July of 2007. He is
still missed terribly. Not a day goes by where I think of how he
may have been a father and how much this world has lost without
him. He was one of the most giving and loving people that I have
ever had the priveledge of knowing and loving.
It broke my heart to not get the call on my birthday, on Valentines, on Mother's Day. I miss his voice, eating french fries at DIA on his layovers between bases for training, and the cocky hugs as he carried his helmet up to the TSA guys saying 'Sir, I get the special line' because he refused to check his precious gear.
Little brother, I miss you still. I miss your courage, your laugh, your smiles. I missed seeing you the past year, and I wish that you would have made it home alive to see us in August. So close, yet so far away. I love you.
