Guest Blogger Hayley: My Brother

Published on 30 December 2025 at 09:08

Peter, my brother in the sky, Although I miss you so so much,
I’ll try my best not to cry.
You showed me lot's of things through the years, I learned a lot I didn’t know.
But you forgot to teach me one last thing,
That’s how to let you go.

You say you were the black sheep, but my god Peter you were so wrong,
You were the missing jigsaw piece, we needed you all along.
Our family have grown closer, and for that I must thank you.
I wish so bad that you were here with us, shouting loudly as you do.

I know you were my big brother, but I miss showing you the way.
I promise to keep your memory alive, and speak of you every day.
Our very own Peter Pan, how lucky we were to have you.
Being the life and soul of the party, acting so proudly as you do.

You were such a loving brother and I’m proud to call you mine,
Even if I had to act like your older sister, almost all of the time.
We shared something so special, a bond so deep and true,
no other could make me laugh, just the way you do.

I hold on to our memories, for they have made us who we are,
whilst trying to navigate my love to you, just standing from afar.
Although I know I can’t see you, I can honestly feel you near.
With everything I do, I know you are still here.

Thank you for the chaos you brought to all of our life's.
but now, even though it wasn’t legal I've got to put up with Luke, your wife!
I promise to remember you, at every party we hold,
don’t worry Corey knows your dance moves, he doesn’t need to be told.

I know you were a great cook and Saturday kitchen was your fave,
the memories of minted peas will stay with me always.
I loved watching you be a Dad. It was one of your best jobs.
You were the centre of their world and I can’t help but feel so robbed.

You would be jealous of Bailey's tan, she’s really looking brown.
Don’t worry, I won’t let her look like an Oompa Loompa, I know you weren’t a fan.

Your actions were always kind, you had a heart of gold.
I only wish I could see you when we were BOTH grey and old.
You called yourself the favourite brother (sorry James) because we were always there for one another.
Or more honestly, because you wanted to borrow a score. I wish you could ask me that, just once more.

I know you didn’t mean to leave me, sometimes we have no choice.
I miss being your little sister, hearing my name shouted by your voice.
I wish I got to say I Love You
Before you were given to the sky.
If I could be given one last wish, I’d ask to say Goodbye.

You always meant the world to me, Peter I could never love you less,
I know it’s true when they say, They only take the best.
