To my Hoof (a joke between us) 

There was never a shortage of laughter between us, even in the darkest of hours. There was the good advice, the bad advice, the hard truths, and all the conversations in between. We shared so much more than just being cousins. You were my best friend, my brother, my music box , my diary, and one of the very few people who just got me without needing an explanation.

The word cousin will never fully describe the bond we shared or the place you held in my life. We had a connection that went beyond what family titles could ever explain. You were one of my constants, someone I could talk to about absolutely anything, laugh with about nothing, and count on through the good and the bad.

I will miss the random conversations, the laughs, the advice, even the disagreements. I will miss all the little things that probably seemed ordinary at the time but mean everything to me now.

I will remember it all. Every laugh, every conversation, every memory. I wish more than anything we had more time, but I will forever be grateful that I got to have you as my cousin, my brother, and my lifelong best friend.
