Cuz! That's what he'd call me in his rhaspy voice. I feel saddened by the loss of my cuz, Steven. I feel weak at my knees and a queasy stomach as we approach the end of the week. I pray the family finds closure in the scriptures and the promise it holds for us left behind. I look forward to seeing my "cuz" again!

Last night I prayed to God for just one visit from you. One last time to hear your voice, laugh and to say that I love you. I didn't see you in my dreams last night, but each night I go to sleep is another opportunity. You are forever in my heart. We love you. R.I.P Pops.
