Philip Andrew Sorensen (Phyllis George)
Missing you today, Bud. One year ago tonight, a freak car accident claimed your life, baby brother. I am sure it has been a few seconds to you, but we have suffered and cried for you for one whole year now. You were a mere 27 years old almost 28 (I have to say, I am a tad jealous you never had to see your thirties...you have given me so many gray hairs). This picture is from our most recent 2008 Hawaii trip. I cherish all the times we spent together, and most especially this trip, the cave trip three weeks before you died and Bear Lake 5 days prior. Those times will always be held very near and dear to my heart. If you would have asked me when we were little if I would have been sad if my bratty brother died, I would have smugly indicated you could take him anytime. I would like to rescind that former comment and say I would give anything (almost) to just hug you one more time and tell you "I Love You more than you know". I am very happy to know where you are now and that I can be with you again. Andy & Hailey are hanging in there. Missing you like crazy. We all wish you were here. I have to rub in the fact that we are going on a pretty rad trip in November and it's a bummer you are missing it, but you are a big reason we are going!! Until we meet again...I love you my brother...Tell all our relatives hi from me.....I will be there......someday!!
Love you,
Jennie Lee
I was just remembering Phil a couple days ago too and thinking that it had been a year now.
ReplyDeleteThis post put a big thick lump in my throat and made me tear up. I love you, Jenn. Love you, Phil.
I'm so sorry that he is gone Jen! It's so wonderful that we have the gospel and the knowledge that you'll be able to see him again someday.
ReplyDeleteThat is fun that Neil came in. What was he doing back in Logan? Are they moving back again? :)
What a sweet post. Hard to believe a year has gone by already. Life just keeps marching forward even when we feel like it should stop. It's 8 years this month for us losing Jared. I just wanted you to know that I think of you often. *Hugs* to you.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. That has got to be a tough thing. It looks like your family is really close.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture. I only met Phil that once at the reunion last year. Great guy. I'm sure he's busy now. I'm glad you guys are going on your trip.
ReplyDeleteHugs Jennie. Thanks for your sweet testimony and your positive attitude. You are such an amazing person.
