It just gets harder to think about.
I cant look at this screen, or the pictures i have saved of our many parties together. I cant even look your mom in the eye without telling her how sorry I am for treating you the way I did. But God knows I am. You've got one of the biggest hearts I've ever known, and I think it's obvious. I went to your house today to hug your mom. Man, was I happy to see her. She seems to be doing pretty ok, but I know it's hard for her. She's trying for you though. Rachel, your mom and your girlfriend were all wearing your jackets. It was one of the most heartbreaking things I've ver seen. Only because I know that's the lsat time i'll see em'. Just like it's the last time I'll come to your house before basketball games only to take a nap and then have you wake me up so i could be there on time. And the last time that we're going to go driving through the snow with Mozey and I in the back of the truck throwing snowballs at cars and pretending we can surf.. Or even the last time I'm going to see you pop your collar. (Polo Club for life!) The last time i'll play KINGS with you, and the last time I'll lay in your comfy bed. But it's ok. Because this is the first time I've seen everyone come together like they have since the last time we all hung out. And it's the first time I've truly understood the meaning of friendship and loving your family. And even the first time i've honestly understood that I take life for granted. Thank you for opening my eyes and my heart to new things. I'll make sure to tell my friends and family everyday how much I love them, and how thankful I am to have them in my life. Because as this weekend has shown me, you never know when you'll get the chance to say it again.
I love you so much buddy, and I could only hope that you're happy where you are.
Our prayers and thoughts are with your family.

We love you!
