My brother was cremated, so I don't have a gravesite to visit or anything like that. I do remember him via music mostly. He was a musician and like everyone, had certain songs and artists that he liked, and I've found that remembering him through songs is a much happier reminder than say, thinking about him when I hear an ambulance siren or something.
This Memorial Day will be the first I've had without him. I've already decided that I will get flowers and take them to cemetery behind my dad's house and leave them at a soldier's stone.
