"My dear Rodya...
Today is exactly a year since you left for Heaven, and my heart is still shattered to pieces. I miss you every second. Your smile, your laughter, your voice, filled with life, now remain only in my heart.
You are the one with whom I shared my deepest secrets and the one to whom I immediately ran when I was sad and bad, knowing that you would always calm me down and protect me.
You always told me: "Don't be afraid of anything, I will always be here"
You were not only my brother, but also my best friend, my support, my encouragement, and now I miss you so much.
You taught me perseverance and faith, taught me to never give up, to be wise and strong....
You are my hero.
I know that you are always there, I feel it, you continue to live in the hearts of everyone who loves you.
My kindest, brightest, strongest most beautiful boy
I can handle everything I promise.
I dream of seeing you again, whenever that happens.
After all, no one says goodbye forever.
I miss you and love you endlessly.
Your little sister..."
Beautiful words written by Rodion's sister. You can tell through her writing how much her big brother truly meant to her.
