Joey is my wonderful cousin with whom I shared so many great childhood memories with & for that, I am grateful that he was in my life. I have seen him in so many important events in his life, from taking his 1st steps as a baby to his wedding..... which I am so lucky that I was a part of those events. I will miss you & I love you more than any words can say. You are more than just a cousin to me, you are like the brother that I never had. Till I see you again...... I love you!
