Be thankful that your Big is only leaving, PhiMuNursie...
My Big Brother (actually a girl named Mel, we were in a co-ed frat) died last year on July 31. I had sent one of my graduation announcements to her, and got a call from her mom telling me that Mel was in the hospital in a coma because of a non-cancerous brain tumor. At first they thought that she was going to pull through it, but the tumor had cut off too much oxygen to her brain, leaving her brain-dead. I didn't get to say goodbye. She didn't get to come to my wedding in April (although I do believe that she was there as my guardian angel). I miss her so much... Now I'm crying (great...)... But I wouldn't have changed my Big for the world. She was so wonderful to me, such a great friend.
"And I'm glad I didn't know the way it all would end, the way it all would go. Our lives are better left to chance. I could have missed the pain, but I'd had to miss the dance."
Rest in Peace, Mel
