Joey+Rory... Joey's goodbye to her brother Justin

This was shot one evening at Joey and Rory's farm while they were listening to the song "To Say Goodbye" and talking about her brother Justin.

The rest of the story is...in July of 94, Joey's brother Justin was in a car accident about a mile from her family's farmhouse in Indiana. He was 17 and on his way to the county fair. They were only a year apart in age and the best of friends. A nearby neighbor ran from the scene to our house to her Joey and her mom. On the side of the road that night, they held Justins hand, cried and prayed with him, and ultimately a few days later, watched him pass away. He never regained consciousness, so she never got the chance to talk to him or look into his eyes and tell him how much she loved him or how much he meant to her. Like the rest of her family, she's cried a million tears over losing him that summer. He had his whole life ahead of him, and just like that he was gone.

My daddy has been gone for 38 yrs., my mama 25 yrs., my sister 16 yrs.

And they say time heals all???

Well let me tell you I catch myself wanting to pick up the phone and call each of them almost everyday. I miss them so much.

So please when you read this don't let a day go by that you don't tell them how much you love them. Cus one of these days they won't be around.

My brother is also 17. We may not be the best of friends, like Joey and her brother, Justin were, but he does mean a lot to me. I hope I don't lose him any time soon. I may not say it all the time, but he does, he really does. We used to fight so bad, I mean it was something that you didn't even want to watch us fighting, but now we're better and we talk more often. I'll always be here for him and I hope he never forgets that fact :)

In 11 days, it will be one year since I lost my mother. I never got to tell her I loved her before she passed. She died in my arms. It is the hardest thing to deal with

[CMicheleBowman]

So sorry for your pain.

I lost my older brother 5 years ago. He was 26. I saw him on a Wed. and we made plans for the weekend. Friday morning I got a call that he was in the hospital. For the next two weeks I never left his side, never stopped talking to him, never stopped holding his hand. He was unconscious the entire time. On June 7th he finally passed. To this day it still feels like someone is ripping apart my heart from the inside. I would give anything to hug him one more time, tell him I love him, or goodbye.
