LOSS

I lost my brother last April. If you didn't know Nash then then let me help you out now. Nash was born on May 12, 1999 a few years later he was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This disease pretty much means that every muscle in your body gets weaker day by day and year by year. Boys with Duchenne usually die around the age 21. Ever since I was little my dream is for Nash to outlive me but we all knew that wasn't going to happen, I didn't want to believe it. Almost a year ago my brother was found without a pulse in his at my house. As I was running up the stairs I felt like I was drowning in water. From that day on I stayed at the hospital holding his hand and crying over him. My family thought of Nash almost like a loan. God put him on this earth to change others and he did. We got lucky enough to know Nash to let him change our lives. A lot of people aren't born with the gift to change peoples lives. Nash was a certain boy not because of his disease or not because of what he like to do because of what he did. Losing someone so close that you love so much is so hard and terrifying you can't even put it into words. I still struggle to this day and so does my family, we lose sleep. I know he is watching over me, but I have to be strong. So many people have lost people so close to them. There is not a cure to this pain in my heart or anyones heart, its a permanent hole in the middle of my chest. We all are hurting and by putting others down by pointing out their wrongs. My brother didn't have a bad bone in his body. Nash would never want to put someone down. Think it about it this way, if someone who passed away and got the chance to come back to earth do you think they would want to put someone down? No, they would want to say I love you to everyone. So before you say anything to someone that is negative think about it. You never know what could happen to someone. What my family and I say is "What would Nash do". Spread love and stop the hate because we our all on a time limit.
