Small fries is almost 22 now. I miss you a lot man. A lot has happened since you passed. Erica is becoming a Doctor, Mike and J are married, and J has a little girl now.  You're an uncle! I grew up too. Graduated high school, on my way to finishing college. We even have a beagle named Molly now and she is dad's pride and joy. I think a lot about what would have been having you there while growing up. Hell, I probably would have ended up becoming a fitness nut like you. Stuff happens for a reason I guess and we all just try to make the best out of life every day. Till the next story I decide to write. Love you bro.
