I'll never know

Description
Created for the Hodge Podge Brotherly/Sisterly Love Prompt
I have never scrapped about my oldest brother, so this was quite the prompt for me. My brother was HIV+ and died from complications due to pneumonia in 1996. I was ten years old, but since he was so much older than me (20 years) he was more like a best friend older brother that spoiled me like his own kid. So i made this journal about things that i think about when i think about him.
Kits (all from The-LilyPad):
Gina Miller - Arctic Ice
Lili - Fly Away
Lili - Hand Drawn Alpha (recolored)
Kaye Winiecki and Valorie Wibbens - First Kiss
Font:
Pea Chelsea K Script
Journaling:
who your favorite artist was. whether or not you liked to wear socks. how you took your coffee. how you woke up in the morning. where you took your date after prom. how old you were when you had your first kiss. what your favorite restaurant was. how long it took you to get to work. if you would have invited me to move in with you. if we would go out to the movies. how proud you could be of me. how many computers we would have. how funny your toast to me would be at my wedding. what it was like for you to travel to new zealand with dad. if you prefered sandals to shoes. what music you would put on your iphone. if you would have flown in for my graduation. who your favorite super hero was. if you liked peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. what sports you loved to play. your favorite flavor of gum. what time you would stay up until. what kind of art hung in your house. which toothpaste you used. your favorite movie. if you worked out daily. what kind of milk you bought. your favorite cake. how you lived every day knowing it could be your last. what your last month was like. if you knew i would have come to say goodbye if i had been allowed to go to california. how scared you were knowing how you would die. if you worried about not knowing how i would grow up. if you thought i would follow in your footsteps. if we would have been best friends that talked on the phone everyday. how much you loved me. but you will never know how much i looked up to you, how much i love you, and how much i miss you.
Wow Heather - I am all chocked up. This is so beautifully written and such a great tribute. Thanks for sharing.
 
wow. powerful journaling. my hp was about missing siblings as well and i have the same questions. i hope you found some comfort sharing with the community.
 
Holy cow!! That is absolutely incredible and what scrapping is all about it. What is so amazing is the message that come across that is not actually written anywhere!! Fabulously done!
 
This is so beautiful, Heather. I've said it before, but I love this LO. It must have been difficult yet therapeutic for you to create this! Well done! *hugs*
 
Sorry for your loss. This layout is so wonderful, touching and heart breaking. Glad you found the inspiration to make it.
