... The day I heard u had slipped away from our family, jonathan, I couldn't believe it.. I couldn't believe it was you, it was on Cesar's birthday, couldn't believe how it happened and I will never know why.. I think about u often enough to know that u n I were going down the same path.. Its scary not knowing how far along that path you'll go.. Its so unpredictable.. I wish all of us cousins stuck together.. We weren't jus from the same family but we were all like each other in many ways.. It mind b
oggles me that u knew where u were going n what was gonna happen... N it did... There's a gaping hole in our family due to losing u n mario.. Only 4 years apart.. I miss u.. And I mi
ss mario. I think if we had the 2 of u here, things would have been a lot
different. Its jus not the same tone in our family anymore... You both will always be missed.
