The reason of my short retreat away from the steem blockchain.

"Contemplating in silence how fragile we are in this physical plane will almost always be a necessity to finally emerge strengthened and well aware of the ephemeral existence of our traveling spirit and immortal soul"

Last week I suffered a huge loss. The premature and unexpected departure of my sibling to the other side. The only other being on this planet with whom I shared 100% of my own blood. My baby sister seven years younger than me. And to who I had already 15 long years without seeing her in person as to give her a very tight hug and fraternal kiss of brothers.

For now my chances of doing so as I would like it has been reduced, but I am sure that it won't be long before we have our happy re-encounter and triumphant reunion once again.

¡I love you with all my heart baby!

It's very curious, but I've been thinking during all this week about the special bond that unites us to our own blood brothers of the same father and mother. There is no other being on this planet with whom we share the same set of genes. The same blood and biological structure in our physical essence. Although our character and way of being can in fact be unique and very different. At the end of the day we are a replica of each other. We are just different branches of the same root. We are the closest brothers.

Just think for a second about the following:

  • Your father and your mother are and must be immensely special for you. But each of them only carry half of your blood, half of your genes in them.

  • Same like your children. Your sons and daughters only carry half of your blood. Half of your own genes in them.

But your siblings from the same parents are a thing on other level. They are indeed beyond any existential measure. They are you, mergerized and mimetized in a slightly different anatomical appearance. With an invisible umbilical cord that will forever bind you to them.

And that's basically what I wanted to highlight today with this post. Love and always honor your brothers as yourself. They are and always will be special and extraordinary beings in your life no matter how different ways of thinking they may have that do not necessarily coincide with yours at any given time.

¡They are you! They are your reflect on the other side of the mirror.

Maybe later I will write a little bit more about her. Because in reality she was a very special and extraordinary being of who I would have many good things to say and share with you. But I don't want to make this post very long, tedious and boring. So I just will mention a couple of other things before finishing this article.

First of all, I want to apologize to all those who I've not yet replied to their comments in the last posts I published a week ago. As you will understand, I was not in the mood to say anything and in fact I didn't want to drag anyone down the swirling black hole with me.

Sometimes I wonder if you find my pessimism exhausting.
The usual extravagance and volatile nature of my moods.
Especially when I dive deep in solitude within my soliloquy.
To eventually resurface with a trove of words that are no less than exasperating.

Actually, this is not intentional. Maybe it's just part of my hermit nature that has been sharpened with the age accumulating already so many experiences. I've been living alone longer than I'd like to remember. And now I'm feeling a little more alone after having to abruptly say goodbye to my dear little sister from the distance.

¡Requiescat In Pace My Love!

And to close this post, I just wanna share a memorable song in your honor. An Abstract Aural Bit that always reminded me a lot to you. To your perpetual glamorous essence. To your indomitable free spirit and your noble adventurous soul. ¡I Love You Dear! ❤ 😍 😘

'Abstract Aural Bit'

Don't worry babe. I'll take my time to visit you one of these days.

I may be slightly broken now, a little bruised and even permanently scarred. But I'm slowly starting to heal. And I still wake up everyday with a strong will to fight. I still refuse to be defeated so easily. We continue and will continue in close contact sweetie. 🍀😘

I am so sorry to hear this mate and my condolences go out to you and your family. I definitely think writing about these experiences will help but then, everyone is different.

Thank you very much my friend. Yes I agree, writing about these experiences will help. Only that sometimes we don't know exactly where to start.

The first word leads to the next. It doesn't matter where in the story it appears.

My heartfelt condolences, I am pained to read this and find it inconsequential we don't know one another. It touched me deeply as I only have one sibling and was just recently blessed to see him after a couple of years and ten thousand miles of separation. For whatever reason we drifted apart and weren't keeping in touch, which is a travesty. Thank you for sharing this intimate and tragic event with us and know that it's inspired me to be the best Lil bro I can be while I still can. 🙏💜🙏

Thank you very much @skramatters. Your words and feelings are highly appreciated. :)

Yeah mate, our sisters/brothers from the same parents are and should be indeed beings immensely special for us. Even more when we have only one. I heartily celebrate and I'm very glad that you had the chance to recently see yours in person after that short separation. I wish you can keep a trend where you can see and hug each other closely as often as you can. Yes! we must do that while we still can!!

Yep, I plan to probably write a little bit more about my baby sister in the next days. She was indeed an exceptional being that I believe part of her amazing memories and living testimony well deserves be carved within the blockchain for the posterity.

Cheers!! :)

You’re most welcome. Your strength is evident and astounding, take care of yourself and I look forward to your blockchain carvings.

Condolences.

Write about it when you can. It will probably help.

Thank you mate. Certainly I will. I believe this will be highly cathartic for both of us.

I lost my older sister in 2002. It was gut wrenching and heart breaking, but she was very sick with M.S. and it was unbeatable for her in her adult life. I'm very sorry to be reading this news. Please accept my condolences to you and your family.

I really lament to hear that you've also lost your sister mate. No doubt it is a heart breaking experience. In my case it was devastating because it was very premature and totally sudden and unexpected. She suffered a CVA due the rupture of a cerebral aneurysm with the subsequent SAH that kept her unconscious in intensive care for more than twenty days. However, she managed to wake up and began to show signs of recovery without apparent major secondary damages. What obviously gave us increasing hopes that maybe it would not pass of have been just a big scare. But then, no longer she had a second stroke that this time she could not overcome and has passed to a better life. Yeah, I know she is in a better place now and that comforts me a bit. It really grieves me that during 15 long years I didn't have the opportunity to give her a big hug.
