To my brother, forever in my heart!

Today is the day you left to go to a more peaceful place, called Heaven. We talked about you today and there was a moment or two of tears. But we think of the happiness you gave us while you were here.

Every day I think of you and thrive for those conversations we use to share in person. I thrive for your advice, or your silliness, or your intellectual conversation. Man, I miss you so so much brother. More and more each day.

The greatest thing has happened to Scott!! He has a son and we are going to reconnect with him on the 16th of May. A day after he turns 18...what a great time in his life to meet his son as an adult. We have waited for this day for years. The communication between Scott and Cody has been positive. I pray for a relationship for many years to come.

I am doing ok for the most part after my surgery. Healing one day at a time. The cancer has been removed, though I have many months of follow-ups. I do have to have some check ups from an oncologist here soon I hope. Just patiently waiting for the phone call from them. I am staying on top of things concerning this cancer crap. I won't let your down.

Plus, this year.... I am going to be walking 2 relays. One in Redding, Leslie has a team. And will be walking the survivor lap....of which I will carry you with me...as well as dad. And, of course Trinity....I am excited for this...would love to walk more relays from other counties also. In memory of you and in honor of pops!!

I love you so much brother and 'Wish you were here'
