Dear Ronnie – by Sophie, age 11

Dear Ronnie,
I love you lots and lots,
And i miss you too,
Your hugs and smile,
Are my memories of you,
Pictures and photos,
Including lost memories,
Are all i have left of you,
My dearest brother.

I think you will agree,
Together, Me, Ricky, mum, My dad could rule the world,
I had you all,
Now you have passed away,
And will only be in my heart and head,
Instead of here,
With me and your friends.

You had a lot of friends that cared for you,
I don’t know if you knew,
But we all miss you,
Dearest brother.

I hope you are looking after yourself,
And having fun up there,
But down here we are worrying,
Please tell us that you are ok.

Thank you for all of the wonderful times that we had,
Them times were great,
But they are fading now,
Please help me get through this time,
Without any more agony.

I wish i had you back,
Or even something of that you kept,
To remember you by,
And not to forget,
The brilliant brother,
That was the best of them all.

Please take care of yourself,
I love you.

But now the time has come to say goodbye.
So goodbye.
