my brother
what can i really say.... we grew up together, he was my brother and i can never forget him. we used to hang out all the time since our moms worked together at UTMB, after he died, my mom found a bunch of pictures of us when we were kids; he used to come to all my birthday parties when we were kids. we had so much fun together and as we got older, our brotherhood grew stronger. we had each other's back through thick and thin. it saddens me to say that after we got to high school that we grew apart, we just had different friends; but even after it all i still gladly called him my brother..... and even when we grew apart he was still there for me. when i needed a friend the most and everyone was too busy, he showed up with his big smile to help cheer me up. now i just feel a hole, and i see him all the time as i think about everything we used to do; play video games, watch movies, drive around, ec cetera. i think if i could say one last thing to him it'd be that i miss him and i love him like a brother. i don't think he ever really knew how much i thought highly of him, he just had that big generous heart, he was a giving and caring person. i just wished i could have been even a fraction of, he was just a good person all around. i think one thing i still plan on doing was something we said we'd do after graduation, driving to california. we joked saying we'd go just to go, see what it was like. if anything its something to do just because i think he'd want me to go.
jared i miss you, and i'll never forget you. hope to see you again past them pearly gates bro
