One of my favorite memories of Brian was when we all went out with his dad on his dad's boat fishing and swimming. It was Brian, his dad, my ex-husband Frankie and me. Brian was fishing off the side and snagged his dad in the butt. Then we all went swimming. Brian put his life jacket on and wore it as a big diaper and we all went under the boat. While Brian, Frankie, and I were under the boat Brian started laughing so hard he kinda threw up a little. I never seen so many people clear out from under a boat so fast. God, he was always so fun and full of life. We will miss you and it's going to be so hard to tell Frankie that your gone.
