5 years later, and it still feels like yesterday. On days like today, I really I hope and pray for a place where you and I will exist once more and you will get to grace me with your presence again, but until then, I will appreciate, celebrate, and honor to the best of my ability the 25 years that I got to call you big brother. I wish I remember every word you said, how every hug felt, and had every memory written on my heart- all I can think about today, though is how hard we laughed together as we scooped countless bubbles out of the dishwasher as it overflowed with suds because I put dawn dish liquid in the dishwasher. You always talked about how things would change when I turned 18, and how I would, "understand when I got older". I understand now- at least in the context you were talking about. Little did I know how wrong I was and how right you were. Knowing what I know now, and who I am now, I hope you are proud of me. I only wish that it could be from this side of heaven. ❤️
