You are one of my very favorite people, big brother.
I wish our lives intersected more, because I miss you. We miss you.
Bjørn talks about you every day. Every conversation we have has an “and Erik too!” inserted into it somewhere. And boy does it make my heart happy to see how much he loves you!
You have played such an important role in my life. You have been a rock for me at times when noone else could break through the walls I put up.
Your love and support gave me so much strength and confidence as a teenage girl and young woman. I don’t know where my life would be today without your influence, and I’m glad I don’t have to find out.
Sometimes I can hardly believe how much we fought and how much animosity we had for each other as children. I have very few fond memories of our relationship as children… but the years as we’ve grown have far made up for that distance!
I hope my kids find a true sibling love and appreciation for each other as they grow.
I love you, big brother!
