There is so many stories I could give. He was always a strong force in my life. He picked on me when I was small so much so. Well, I really didn't think I liked him much... he was like the bratty big brother.. I often thought, (when was small) one day one day I would be able to knock him out. He liked to hold my head an arms link away from him... while he chuckled. (I will never forget that chuckle) I was swinging as hard as I could just praying I would connect just once. I remembering telling him once i hope he never had kids of his own.. because he was just to mean...Time forward. I was 16 or 17 when he told me he loved me he loved me for the first time. I looked at him said.. see you can pile that Cole up around your heart as think as you want. That golden heart will always find away to shine threw. My favorite memories are times I spent with him on the farm. Like when he and Iss shocked themselves checking the electric fence. Or when I gave him a to do list on how to fend the cats and kittens. Because, the big cats wouldn't leave any for the little ones. Then my senior year in high school he called me almost every month. Asking me if I was still going to graduate, Threating me, I loved those conversations I wish I could get another phone call I wished I had been able to have spent more time with him. Wished I had a chance to say good bye... I am so greatful that he did get a chance to raise the beautiful kids he did. We was all blessed to have him in our lives. Rough edges and all...
