Dear Big Brother (Sjef),
To my beloved brother,
No matter how different we were, you were, and always will be, my big brother.
Maybe you judged me for the choices I made. Maybe you never truly got to know the person I had become. But none of that changes what is in my heart today.
I miss you every single second.
I always looked up to you. Even though some of your choices hurt me deeply, I never stopped loving you as my brother. That bond can never be broken.
The hardest part is knowing I never got the chance to say goodbye. No final hug. No last conversation. No sharing one more beer together. That pain will stay with me forever.
It hurts even more that I was never told you had passed away. I lost the chance to stand beside you one last time and say the words I should have been able to say.
Wherever you are now, I hope you have found peace. I hope you know that despite everything, you were loved. You will always be a part of me, and I will carry you in my heart for the rest of my life.
I love you, brother.
Rest in peace.
With all my love, Etiënne
