another marker for a page

 

so, this is yet another marker for a page 

…. there has been something that has been weighing heavily on my heart and on my mind these last several weeks

I have known for quite awhile that the brother of my best friend since elementary school was dying of ALS. A most wicked, cruel and tortuous way to have to waste the ending days of a life

and so, this has been pressing upon my thoughts throughout all that has been on my mind for weeks

I remember him vividly, even though I’ve not seen him since we were young.

He was her second older brother; tall, wiry and athletic, with a confident arrogance. Even as a boy, he was breathtakingly handsome; a boyish version of my best friend. He was dazzling, I idolized him

and so, it makes me sad 

so…. it seems, he has— at last, found peace 

I mark this page for electra ….
