My favorite cousin... We were going to get together and drink Bailey's Irish Creme upon my arrival. I been working on the other side of the world and missed you most about Chicago. I had no idea. I will never forget our conversations and the time we spent together. How could a cousin be your best friend also? Now I've lost both and its quite unexpected and disconcerting. I'll look in on Timothy when I get that way. Will miss you always or longer...
