I lost my only brother several years ago, which led to my return to running and ultimately trail running. You seem to be dealing with the loss openly and honestly, which in my experience helped greatly. Thank you for sharing what I’m sure was a very painful and personal race report. The hole in your heart that you described, will not disappear, but I promise that with time it will fill with the memories and love that you have for your brother. I applaud you on the foundation that your family is starting in his name. As someone who struggled with chemical dependency following retirement from a career in the performing arts, I relate to that directionless feeling that your brother struggled with. You and your family are honoring his memory in the best way possible, by helping others. Thank you again for sharing your experience!

I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your memories of your brother in such a beautiful way. Be assured of my prayers for you and yours as you move forward, and I ask you to keep me in yours. Eternal rest grant unto Michael, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him.
