trying to add .bash_aliases to .bashrc

in .bashrc there is an area where you add aliases.  It had been set up so you could store all your aliases in an external file ".bashrc_aliases".  There was something like (i forget the exact syntax):
if -f ".bashrc_aliases"
< SOME TEXT THAT INCLUDES THE ".bashrc_aliases" FILE>
fi
I erased the text between if and fi and I put the .bashrc_aliases file into .bashrc trying to find an error.  I found the typo and now I want to move the aliases from .bashrc back to the file ".bashrc_aliases".  I forget what I erased between if and fi to include the file ".bashrc_aliases".
