I speaking for Big Mama & Big Daddy, as well.  We talk about Blaine & smile just remembering his handsome face & his caring sweet & wonderful personality. It's hard to believe that it's been one yr. since we've all lost our Blaine.  We all wish we could turn back the clock & say or do alot more than what we did. 

We miss you so much Blaine but, you're not suffering now. We know where you are & you're at peace. 

Lots of Love & kisses from your Big Mama & Big Daddy, Cyree & Randy

I miss you so much brother.

Everything that we did when we were kids. The places we've been, the friends we had, the trips we've been on, just our childhood all together was great. I know we had some times when were kids, but we were kids and what kids dont. I dont ever remember fighting with you about nothing when we got older.

I loved it when we were kids though. Cedar Point trips. We got to take our friends. Family friends, John and Shane and just had a good time.

The Michigan trips from Kentucky. Always played games up at the college there, the 4 of us, John, shane, me and you! Its was always a great time.

The New years eve time and the Arnolds. The parents always went out and we stayed in and played football in the living room. I will never forget that!

Just so much in our life brother and I never thought something like this would happen the way it happend. Seeing you in the hospital while you were going through Kemo. Just seemed like everything was looking good and positive, because you kept it that way. But when reality struck in after seeing you when you got home, I knew it wasnt alright. But you still told me that it was. Just so much I should of told you and shared with you that day and night before you went back to hospital. Seem like you have a lot of time but in reality you dont. People dont think about that until something like this happens.

I will never forget you Brother. NEVER! I think about you all the time! You will always be my BIG BROTHER! I will see you again 1 day Brother. Until then I have to take care of things around here with my family and my kids! Sara is going through her stages of life like a typical soon to be teenager. Madison, she is Madison. Shes little miss independent, polite and when shes around daddy, a daddy's girl! I know you see her in your own way everyday, I just wish you could of been here in person.

Watch out for us Brother, Look over us! I know you are cause I know you are there.

I love you Brother!

Your little brother,

Brent

I remember arriving to your house waiting on you to get home from the doctor. I hadnt seen you for awhile but when I did, it definately wasnt you. We got you inside to sit you down and I didnt leave your side. We talked for a bit and you told me everything was going to fine. I wanted it to be fine, but I knew deep down it wasnt. You didnt complain about it at all to me. The whole family was there that night when you went back into the hospital. You were slowly fading and there was nothing I could do about it. I just had to sit there and watch you. I wish I had to talked to you more that night. I wish you got to see Madison more other than what you did. There was alot of things that I wished for but never acted on them. Everyone was by your side the next night. We were praying and I stayed there holding your hand as long as I could. You died that night, late, and Dad broke the news to me. I was upset and couldnt believe it. I didnt wanna believe it and I still dont. I thought praying would help, work, or do something. I feel like I was let down by that. I always told you I didnt want to be alone if something ever happend to Mom and Dad. It would be us and our kids growing up. Now its going to be me and my kids and your son. Its hard as hell not having you here Brother. I wanted to help you so bad with everything that you were going through and now I wish I was there alot more than what I was. I will never forget you as my BIG BROTHER. The times we shared, the place we have been as kids. So much in our childhood that I will remember about us that I will never forget.

Its unreal to me still Brother and it will be for a long time to come. I am going to miss you and feel the pain of missing you for even longer. I love you Brother and I cant say it enough.
