Tim and I were in each other's lives, either as friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, or something in-between. He was/is my Twin Flame. I miss you terribly, Tim.

Tim and I grew up together as we were close in age. He was my first cousin. I remember when we were little and I spent the night at his house. We got up early one morning. Aunt Pat was not up yet. I was hungry. So Tim says come on Debbie. I´ll get us something to eat. The cereal looked so high up in the cupboard. He gets a chair and it takes him quite a while, but he climbs way up into the cupboard. He gets the cereal box out. He says here, Debbie and I can´t reach. So he says catch and drops the cereal box and I drop it. Cereal goes everywhere all over the floor. He scurries down. We hurry up to try to clean up the cereal so we don´t get into trouble. I´m scared. Then out walks Aunt Pat from her bedroom with their hands on her hips. She looks at me, I must have looked terrified. Cause she smiles and says it´s OK honey. Then she makes us cereal tells us to sit down and eat our cereal. Tim better known as Timmy then says to me "boy am I glad you´re here I would´ve got my butt whooped if you wouldn´t have been here." We got done eating and went off to play in his room. His room was full of toys. That is one of my favorite memories. Idk why. Love you cousin.

I appreciate him so much for helping my handicapped brother a while back who was stuck and stranded in his wheelchair....Mr. McKown a passer by saw my brother in destress, he stopped and got the ball rolling..."Made it happen" help came and I was also notified...since then my brother has also passed...
May Mr. Mckown rest in eternal peace as well..

Tim and I had been each other's lives for the majority of the past 12 1/2 years, either as friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, or somewhere in-between. We definitely had a bond, and I believe we were Twin Flames. I miss him, and Sophie, terribly.
