The Garden
When they were younger, Jeremy brought a pepper in from his grandpa's garden and told Ryan, my son, it was a carrot so he tricked Ryan into eating it! Ryan cried for the longest and could not stop drinking water lol.
Fun Times
Jeremy, Jessica and Amber loved coming to spend a week or two at my house every summer when they were kids. We would stay up late playing cards and monopoly, going to the pool, Jeremy learning to drive, around in circles (man that was scary lol), and going through 3 or 4 gallons of tea everyday (he was sugar deprived at home lol). Or the wrestling matches i had with him. One time i had him pinned down with my legs and he couldn't get loose. He was dragging me around the kitchen floor. He finally bit my big toe just to get me to let him go.
The Dance
Just 2 months before he passed away I seen him at a nightclub. Why I do not know but out of the blue he came up behind me, picked me up off the stool and put me on the dance floor and made me 2 step with some little mexican that none of us even knew lol. He was laughing the whole time.
