Text Box: You’ll Understand
by Margarete Holubar in memory of her brother, Martin Holubar
When you miss someone so badly that the pain is sometimes unbearable, then you’ll know.
You’ll understand how I feel.
When every memory you have brings a smile that quickly fades into tears, then you’ll know.

To long for just one brush of the arm or one last glance,
for a hug that seems to last for days or even a small fight.
To be in the same room as them again,
even if just for a few seconds.
To tell them you love them one more time*
to make sure it sticks with them forever.

When you wish for these things everyday, you’ll understand.

To talk to someone as if they never left knowing all along that they have gone.
To spend countless hours wondering where they are and if they are alright.
To hope that they are proud of where you’re going
and watching over you each step of the way.
To know that you’ll never understand why they left when they did*
with so much left to achieve.
To think about every event in your life that they will not be a part of
and feel your heart drop to the floor.

Then you’ll know how I feel.

To know that despite all the pain you feel you have been truly blessed*
blessed by an angel who became a part of your life.
And although that angel can no longer be seen or touched he will always be by your side.
To hold your hand through the rough times and celebrate during the good.

When you know that you are blessed to have been loved by an angel, then you’ll understand ;
