Its hard saying goodbye to someone so special that person that was like my brother. 11 years ago some one heartless took you away from us cousin. What that person didnt know was that you were the light to our darkness, you were the smile to our face. You were just a baby and yet you left ur prints in alot of people because you were loved everywhere. And even though your gone you still teaching me important stuff, like how to value each day i get to wake up and cherish my kiddos and how to stay together thru harsh times. Now i know we are not guarantee to live for ever our days are counted. I really dont know how many more i have coming but i do know one thing though that today was one day less. Cant wait til we meet again. I love you primo.
