he’s my strong tower. the one i lean on when things go wrong, or when things go right. he’s been by my side since day one. he raised me. he protected me. he sang me to sleep at night. he encouraged me to follow my dreams. he was the one who listened to me rant about ethan. he’s the one who told my mother to treat me right. he’s the one who taught me to ride a bike, throw a line, play basketball, laugh without holding back, and live. he’s the one person i know who would never betray me. i look up to him no matter what. he’s so strong, and goofy. and he has the biggest heart i know. he’s an outstanding father, a fantastic son, and the best brother i could ever ask for. i can’t afford to lose him.
