A Sad Day Today

Today started out as a very nice day til about 10:30am when I got the news that my sister-in-law's brother unfortunately passed away early this morning at 4:00am this morning. He died in a car accident. I don't have all of the details yet, but when I get them you will know. I only knew him for a short time but he still left some good lasting memories with me. His sister just married my older brother on Feb 24th, 2007. He was my date for the wedding I was a bride's maid and he was a groom's man slash 2nd ring bearer slash child wrangler. My baby nephew was the ring bearer and he is 1yrs old so Joe was the one to make sure that the little man made down the aisle. Jessee is my sister-in-law and Joe is/was her brother. He was so nice and sweet. He made us all laugh. He told me how beautiful I looked even though I felt like a cow. At the reception we all talked about the next time we would get together and the things that we all were gonna do together since our families just expanded. I'm sure we will still do those things we'll just be short one, only he'll be with us in mind and spirit. I wish I knew how to comfort my sister-in-law and he mother. I got them flowers and cards and sent my love and sympathy too. I told them if they needed anything that I would be there for all of them and help out in any way that I could. I feel so devastated too, because I didn't get a chance to get to know him very well, I am glad that he is in a better place now. He was just beginning to start his own life and talked about the one day when he might get married. How right now he was enjoying the single life but one day he would walk down the aisle like his younger sister, and he would be surrounded by all his family and friends. I'm really sorry that he never got to get to that part in his life, I'm know he would have been a good husband. I know this because he was so nice especially too me. You see I am very very over weight and he treated me like a Queen at the wedding. Telling me how beautiful I looked while walking down the aisle at the wedding and while we danced at the reception. He made me feel special, and for that day I forgot how big I let myself get. I'll miss him. At least he got to see his sister get married and he got to meet his niece and nephew. Too bad he won't be there in person when his baby sister gets married. She is only 15yrs right now. But when that day comes I'm sure he'll be smiling down at her from heaven. Well at least he is at peace and somewhere much better than here, and one day we will all see him again.
