Tonight ....
 

I am mostly drinking whisky (on a school night) because six years ago my brother killed himself.
God, how I miss him.

I'll raise a glass with you.

Honor his life, not how he left it.

And do your body at least this favor ... go one large glass of water between whiskies. (Don't dare contaminate the whisky!) You don't want to get dehydrated.

Dammit.

Ah, sorry.

Holy crap - third attempt at getting this to post....

I too will tip a beer for your bro, in fact I'll even break out my one pilsner glass in his honor.

I bought a case of beer for christmas and still have nine left ... well eight now.

Ladies and gents, here is to Anon's brother!

To the good times :guinness:

I'm sorry, anon.

Hope you got through the night ok, anon.

I'll raise a whiskey this evening in honour of an unknown fallen brother.

Delayed reaction from me (as usual)...echoing the posts of other dwellars.

And you always will. You miss him because you love him. Remember that, and do what you have to do to get through this anniversary.

Exactly what I wanted to say.

Sorry for your loss anon. :(

Thank you everyone. It helps to share (even if anonymously). There's not a day goes by when I don't think of him, but his birthday is especially difficult.
