We started life together, born just 4 months apart created a life long bond. Many of my childhood memories have you in them. You were truly one of the most important people in my life. Even though we were miles apart we always supported each other. I admired your kindness's, love and support. When we were both dealing with difficult medical issues we could say things to each other without judgement but great understanding. You will be missed the rest of the days of my life. I know I will seee again waiting for me to cross the rainbow bridge. You were one in a million, the brother I needed who never let me down or didn't have time to talk. Sleep peacefully, wear your wings proudly and wai for me. I will speak your name loudly and often, that is how you will keep on living. Good night brother and rest in peace. All my love, you're cousin Kimmy
