It's been almost 10 years without you uncle Johnny. Not a day goes by I don't think about you, or Lisa. I know you're up there together watching everyone, especially Tylyne and Johnny. I can't stop crying whenever I think of you. When I hear Boston, I know it's you. I wish you could have met Olivia. I'm sure grumpy is telling you and grandmama all about her. I miss your jokes, going to your house and hanging out. Babysitting for you and Lisa.

My brother not a minute goes by that I don't think about you and praying that it's just not true, just not right, that the day came and you were gone from us...It doesn't matter whether Im driving down Austin or going or coming back from Mom & Dads I still see you coming the opposite way and as always with your hat and sunglasses & your cute smirky smile as we pass each other with a simple wave of saying " Yeah I love you to" ..Oh It hurts so bad at times a lot of times, that I have to stop and think that it's not true no way that it is... Your just home for the day and I just didn't see you pass me by today & to wave to say " Yeah I love you to" !!!! God Bless you my Brother as one day we will be 6 again... Mom & Dad their sad so maybe send down something special for them so they know your okay ... I love you as forever I will
