July 2, 1992 — February 9, 2019
It is okay to grieve and though it may be a word that comes with negative connotations, it is a word that should not be feared. To grieve is to suffer a great loss, which I strongly believe is the case. However, we should also be happy that we have something to grieve for because it only shows how deeply that loss cuts. It shows the value that we all held for Travis being in our lives and how radically the loss of him has affected us. We should be happy to grieve strongly because it only reflects the positivity and the impact he had on our lives.
As his brother, I loved him deeply. I just saw him yesterday and it feels unreal. He came over randomly before bowling, made us a home cooked meal, which was delicious. Gratefully I got to play one last game with my little brother. We set up the backgammon board one last time. This memory sits with me because like most games we were competitive, trying to win. Like most big brothers, I was beating him (muwahhahaha), but he did not give up. The next roll would determine who would win. He just needs double threes or better to grab the win for himself. Unfortunately, he rolled snake eyes just falling short. I feel like we all have rolled snake eyes today, but that does not mean we give up. We just need to set up that backgammon board and give it one more throw of the dice.
