Itโs been 10 years now. To the day. My sister Anita Dรถhler and I lost our younger brother Eddie. He was such a beautiful soul.
He succumbed to glioblastoma, a rare yet terminal cancer. If only medicine had been in 2014 what it is now in 2024. He may have stood a chance.
Anyway, I was thinking a lot if to publish this very personal message, but I wanted to share the one lesson my little brother has taught us:
๐ข๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ฟ๐๐น๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฎ ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ฝ๐๐ฟ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป ๐น๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ.
We are taught by the machinery of society to study hard, work, family, career โ in one word, to find our purpose. He was different. He saw across time, space, societal rules. His happiness was deep inside. Like a small but persistent flame. Until it was no more.
It took me years to process his absence. The void which never got filled. Only many years later did I find the strength to compose โTimeless Memoriesโ for him. The piece I love to play most. The piece I struggle to play most.
Anita and I are grateful to all the people who have supported him, unconditionally, over his last years, months and days. Rest in peace, our little brother โค๏ธ
