I met a man with a child in his eyes ...

Thanks to a dear friend I'm listening to "Just Kids" a biography by punk/rock legend Patti Smith about her years in NYC with Robert Mapplethorpe and one line in the audio book just moved me to tears as it so reminds me of my late step brother Andreas.
“... his green eyes, his dark locks … his voice above the gulls, the childish laughter, and the roar of waves … the boy who loved …”

It's over twenty years now that he took his life, but tonight it feels as if it has been yesterday. Good night, brother mine. Hope you will find love, peace and happiness in the next life.
