Ethan Edward Carothers

Happy birthday, dear Ethan. You were born on this day at 8:02 am 48 years ago and I miss you every day. Your soft baby skin and black curly locks made you a joy to hold and snuggle with ... your sudden smile and giggle a plus!

My first kiss and one of the greatest Loves of my life. He was also one of my best, and one of my longest lifelong friends. Ethan knew most my every heartbreaks, my biggest mess ups, my biggest joys, and soul felt secrets. And I knew his too. We didn't hold back on sappy reflections in life. He knew me. and I knew him. He added color and alot of adventure. He always had a welcoming bear hug, an infectious giggle, and encouraging words to get me through lifes bumps and bruises. He also...

reading the lovely words sent by my sister, Ethan's mother, brought tears to my eyes, all true, he was such a cool guy, I was always proud of him, he had such a love for animals, as I do, so now he is with his dad, our parents, and Uncle Art, for us we just miss him, and always will.
