My heart is broken. One of my brothers is gone. I am out of the country and cannot be there to say goodbye.
I remember many days year after year where we were always together. Me and Britt and Stevie were quite a crew when we were kids. We have been in touch quite a bit the last few years and I’m proud to call him my brother in Christ today. I’ll see you again on the other side my friend. In his immortal words… “love you brother, you need anything, you call me.”
