Brian J. O’Donnell
~ Brother of Mine ~
Farewell my friend, oh brother of mine
It’s sad to say, we’ve run out of time
We joked, we laughed, we lived, and we loved
It was you who taught me never to judge
I can’t believe that you’re actually gone
If only this was a game, and you could respawn
You were always around when I needed you most
And you were never one who needed to boast
Your mind was sharp, and your heart filled with kindness
It’s sad to say, the good times are behind us
You left too soon, for that I’m sad
Please don’t worry, I’ll take care of Dad
I’ll see you again, my beloved brother
In the meantime, I’ll take care of Mother
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal
Love leaves a memory no one can steal
So, farewell my friend, sweet brother of mine
I cannot believe, we’re all out of time
~ Hugh Thomas O’Donnell

Pulleyn and Pamela Machold, grandmother and mother of a young boy with autism, PCDI is a private, non-profit program offering a broad spectrum of science-based services to children, youths, and adults with autism.
