I wrote this song after my brother passed away at the age of 31. I can't believe it's been this long, but that was in 1993. He suffered for approximately 2 years, and I believe had every illness associated with the AIDS virus. It killed me inside to see him go through what he did. That last day, when he was lying in bed, I realized that it would destroy me if I were to remember how he looked.. so... some time went by, and one day my songwriting partner, Michael Nolette, gave me a melody to work with, and as I listened to it.. it inspired me, and then, the words just poured out. This song was featured on my debut CD and dedicated to my brother, Joey. I have been told that this song has touched many lives and I'm very moved that it has, because the entire experience sure did change MY life. i could never ever explain it but those of you who can relate to such a loss, and sadness, especially of a younger sibling.. well you know. Thank you for stopping by, and I wish you health and happiness always. Sincerely, Sharon D..

Note: These photos are not photos of my brother. In time, I will put together another slideshow with actual pictures of him, when I gather the ones I want to use. But I wanted to post the song now, so I just used other shots, along with symbolism. - SD
