Today is my brother Levi's birthday. He is nine years old now. It is a hard day because I was not invited to a birthday party or a family get together that usually takes place every year. It's hard. Plain and simple. As I remember this day nine years ago when he was resting in his crib at the Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital, it occurs to me how young nine years old really is. I barely remember my day to day life when I was nine. I am not there to experience his success and hardships. He knows that I love him. I know that he loves me. The pain of being absent today eats me up inside like a stomach worm just devouring through my intestine line. Intestine line. Silver line. What is my silver lining today? What is it? hmm...
The silver lining today is hard to find, near impossible really. Today is a hard line of silver. It's so hard but faint to feel and see. The silver lining today, creativity. My brother has the imagination of a child and like a child I will embrace his youth and creative masterpieces today. Today, creativity is my silver lining. I will be creative. I will seek the creativity around me. I have a silver lining.
