My darling brother, it is now 6 years since you were taken from us on 28.02.2008, when your life was cut short, before your time. It feels like only yesterday, when you went to hospital for treatment, with such high hopes of an improvement and recovery. What the truth revealed is you were in a very dangerous place with hospital bugs, that combined with incompetence ended your short life. Then a...
I have started writing a book about our life growing up on the farm.
I will feature stories about you and your wonderful life.

I only started the book last Monday Nov 4th 2013 and already have a good response.
We were a good pair, always proud of each other's achievements, but you were my brightest star.

It is 5 years last month, 28th February 2008, when god ended your pain and suffering, and took you into his arms.
The lyrics from Bette Midler's song, the Rose
"Love is like a razor to leave your soul to bleed." seems most appropriate to me right now.
We made plans for you to come and live with me, so I could look after you, but then you were taken from me at the last minute.
I made plans a...

We remembered you on your birthday on the 17th January,2013.
We love you and miss you. Why did I believe we would spend our retirement years together, and I was so looking forward to spending the time with you, catching up on the times we had been apart. You were trying to ge...
It is now my 5th Christmas without you. My life is no longer filled with hope and joy, but I do have the happiest of memories.
All the wonderful years we had together, when we both soared with happiness, and celebrated our closeness, of only the love of a brother and sister can. I love you and miss you BJ.
BJ you would have loved the Melb cup winner this year, a runner up from last year, Green Moon. Thinking of you today, your love of horses, and racing, and the buzz and excitement of a big race day.
It is the 4th anniversary of Melb Cup day, since you were taken from us. It is also my first Melbourne Cup day, that Melissa is not with me, since she was taken from me, under equally tragic circu...
BJ, love you, and thought about you and your love of horses. I watched the WS Cox Plate last Saturday, I never miss it. It is one of the very best races on the racing calendar. Better than the Melbourne Cup. Gai Waterhouse missed out again, those Sydneysiders do not understand the Moonee Valley or Flemington race tracks. A magnificent 3 year old colt won the race. This Saturday it is the Victor...
It is the anniversary of Brian's mothers death today, 5th June 1965.
I have set up a memorial for AnneBCarter on this site.
Finally I have Brian's headstone erected. I will include a photo shortly. It is a beautiful black marble headstone with gold lettering, including a photo of Brian on his favourite horse, example.
His epitaph reads,"We loved and laughed our way through life, you will be ...

Song Title: The Rose

Some say love it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger
An endless aching n...
