Cody, you're smile alone was all it took to make me smile even when that was the last thing I wanted to do. It really sucks to not have you here with me any longer, but I know you are in a better place now, I guess you were needed up there to keep God happy. Maybe he was having a hard time and just wanted to have some fun with you. I'm so glad I got so much time with you when we were kids! I miss you so much! I still am having a hard time believing that you are really gone, but I will live...
