I wish I wish I wish I didn't have to write to this. It's sucks the way you had to go. I hate the thought of not being able to talk to you. I'm going to miss the way we always use to BS with each other or hearing you call me a bum. I really miss you man I don't know how to think, feel or how to handle the situation. I always wondered what you were doing, if you were ok or if you were safe. I wont ever forget the memories and all the times we would talk and laugh and telling me about what was going on and I would tell you about what was going on in my life to and you would listen, the only person I could talk to and explain how I felt at times. I will always remember what you would tell me about standing up for your family and being a man and how you taught me how to fight with the UFC gloves with Elij and Diego in the living room. I always looked up to you when I was little. I always felt that you were the tough brother in the family. I'll remember all the times we went skating, teaching me how to to do tricks and when you taught me how to do a kickflip in front of grandmas house. You are such a great father to your kids. I didn't ever hear you complain on how hard it is to be a parent and how hard it is raising a child you were always happy around and always a good father. It sucks and hurts I had to loose my older brother like this, the only older brother that knew exactly how I felt and could relate to in types of situations, the only person I could talk to and explain how I felt without the thought of judging me. I'm going to miss everything about you Loren especially paintballing with you and how you would tell me "let's run up on them". It's very hard to stay strong especially when I see your picture or hear your laugh in the back if my mind. You won't ever be forgotten, you will always be in mine and everybody else's heart and prayers. I have nothing else to say but you were so real, that's the way you made feel.
BAD $EED 4 LIFE !!!!
