Letting Go of Jamie

"You need to let him go Tabby! This burden is going to kill you!" he yelled at me.

"But I can't! I've tried, but I just can't! I love him so much!" I cried at him. My heart felt like it had a big whole blow right through the middle. I started to fall, but he caught me in his arms. Arms that were so warm and strong, I could be wrapped in them forever.

"And I love you! That's what love is! It's when you care about a person so much, you would do anything for them, even if that means letting them go. Tabby, I know you love him, but I also know that he wouldn't want you to blame yourself for something you had not control over. If you love him, you will let him go..." he whispered into my hair as he stroked it with his hand.

I cried so many tears, so many, it felt like I would drown in them. But his arms were there, safe and warm and strong.

Could I let my sweet Jamie, my darling baby brother, rest in peace and move on with my life?
