That's my brother, & its been 2yrs since he's been gone. I still cry myself to sleep missing him. He was the rock I could hide behind when things got hard. I loved my brother and now I can't tell him. I can't here him say he loves me, or see him and talk to him. My phone will never ring again with his name on the screen. He's not here to see his kid's grow neither see that Im having his neice. I love you, please cont. to keep me safe. =)
