The best memory has to be getting to meet my cousin. Cousins are our first friends. Cousins are the ones who will randomly message you on FB just to make sure you're okay. I keep playing the message of Brendan talking to my son Aidan. Telling him he's a beautiful boy and that he loves him. I remember him telling me that break dancing is cool and I never even heard of it. I was a dork. You were not. You reminded me of the popular boys at school who were mean to me but you were always kind. You showed me how to play Mortal Combat and made my taste in music better. I wish we could go back to when we were kids in the summer. Swimming in the pool, listening to music on the porch, playing basketball and annoying Casey (love you Casey). My heart is with my Uncle Buddy, my Aunt Cindy and my cousins Casey and Shannon. I wish I could take this pain away from all of you.
