It's been like 6 months since you left us...So much has changed..I'm sure that you know all that though.I ran into your cousin Eric about a month ago at the club. It was definitely an experience. We talked about you SO much. I know that you're looking down on us from heaven. I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you... Miss you!

Everyday I wait for you to come into Stewart's for your Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Milkshake. But you still haven't. It just doesn't seem real not even now-probably not for a while. It's not the same without you harassing me. I miss you
