From the author of I'm Still Working on It: A gay veteran's story of overcoming hurt, loss, and PTSD, or at least trying to, anyway. When my only brother took his life, I was devastated; I wasn't prepared to say goodbye. However, try as he might to escape his annoying little brother, he won't get away that easily. Because Kyle's being deceased does not mean he's dead. He's with me anytime I play his favorite records, or whenever Mom tells an embarrassing story from our childhood for the billionth time. This is a story of two brothers, unseparated even through death; of reaching across the divide and staying connected through music, laughter, and love; of triumphing over grief and turning unbearable pain into unmitigated joy. The journey from devastation to acceptance is long, daunting, stained with tears and more often than not seems impossible; I survived that journey, and I wrote this book to let you know that it's possible. Kyle didn't mean to give them to me, but I inherited his favorite records. And, as long as I play them, his song plays on.
