Another year without you. Dang. How can it be 21 years already? I still think of you all the time. I bet it was a wonderful reunion with your mom and dad this last year. I know they couldn’t wait to see you again and I’m sure it was the same for you. Please watch over your sister and family still here. By the way, I hope you and Jay continue to have a beer while waiting for me. Just want you to know you’re still missed and will never be forgotten.
