My son, my best friend, and my second born. God said he took you home with him not for your strength, but for your weaknesses. You were and always will be my baby and I would have never been ready for you to go. Me and your father will forever miss you smile, your kindness, and the crazy way you laughed! God chose you first to be with your baby girl, it warms my heart to know she is once again in your arms. The arms that loved her more than life itself. I smile when I think of what a home coming we will all have someday. This is not a good not a goodbye but a see you later baby. You are so blessed to be able to tell all of those who went before me that we love and miss them. You were such a gentle giant, loving, caring, amazing, and funny son, father, lover, and brother. I am so pleased God has received another angel.
