Here One Minute Gone The Next

December 29th 2005 My life was changed forever. Something was taken away from me that I can never get back. My brother; Ruben Jr. or better known as Rubencito. I remember it like it was yesterday. My mother came into my room with my older sister. Her eyes looked blood shot and swollen, so asked her "Mami what's wrong?" and she said I don't know how to tell you but Ruben is dead. At first I thought it was my father but then they explained to me that it was my brother and thats where I felt that my whole life crumbled down infront of me and there was nothing that I can do. I begged my mom to bring him back, and she told me that there was nothing that she can do. I fell to my knees and called out to God and asked him why he would take my brother away from me. Til' this day I never did get my answer. God's does everything with a purpose. So everytime that my brother passes through my mind I will always remind myself that with everything God does, there is always a purpose. My brother was here one minute and gone the next. Cherish every minute you have with the people that you love. And never take them for granted, because you never know when they'll be gone. May my brother Ruben Rest In Peace, and I hope and pray to be reunited with you one day.
