It´s been two months... and here I am searching, feeling empty, and lost. The saddest reality is that I have to come here, to words, to grief, to memories because I can´t come to you.

I miss you. Deeply. Endlessly.

My mind is full of should have, could have, would have. And yet, when I look back, there was never a need for big apologies or grand make-ups. We never fought. Never really argued. Just the occasional minor disagreement. You were so easy to love Jake. Cooler than a fan. I love you so much for that!

My greatest childhood memories were with you. Jumping on the bed when we weren´t supposed to. Playing hide and seek in the house. Walking to the bodega, turning five dollars into a treasure trove of penny candy.
Just me you & Jose the 3 of us, living in that small world that felt so big back then.

You were my Big brother. My friend. My safe place.
I love you forever, Jake. And I miss you more than words could ever carry.
