Richard,
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think it would be like this. Yes when we were younger we fought like normal brothers and sisters, but thank goodness as we grew up we learned to appreciate each other and love one another. You were my best friend. Someone who understood me and how my crazy mind worked, which not many people get. The good times we had, the fights we had but more importantly the love we had for each other and how we would protect one another.
Unfortunately I couldn't protect you December 25, 2006, that is when everything went down hill. Things changed big time. You were know longer you. My heart broke that night. I missed my older brother. I missed picking on him, laughing with him, telling stupid jokes with him. But I always prayed that somehow you could be fixed and be you again. That day never happened.
Now you have left this world of ours and you are now with daddy, meme, pop, grandma and grandpa, aunt Colleen and Randy and more I honestly can not remember them all. I know in my heart of hearts you are you again. You have your body parts, your brain is back to normal and you can hear all the angels singing and you're singing with them.
I will keep my promise and I will take care of mom and the boys to the best of my ability. I pray I do them and you proud.
I am so going to miss you. I love you with all my heart, mind, body and soul. Until we meet again Big Bro I Love you.
