Aside from losing my brother, writing this has been the single most painful thing I’ve ever had to do. So bare with me..

I’ve written tons and tons of drafts but nothing feels adequate in describing my brother and the pain we are in without him - so I’m just going to go for it. In the early hours of Tuesday, December 8th, Liam passed away. Those who were graced with knowing him, whether you met once, or you were childhood friends, would agree that he was very gentle and kind to the core, yet completely wild and frighteningly daring. He loved the thrill, and was afraid of nothing. Liam would make me laugh until I’d cry, and would take me on the craziest adventures. I can’t imagine a childhood with any other boy. Growing up he was my life teacher, I learned everything from him, and I will be eternally grateful for all that I learned and continue to implement in my life. He was extremely smart, like nothing I’d ever seen before, an absolute mastermind. Liam was kind to every living thing, humble, and so ridiculously funny. It was hard to make him laugh, but once he did you’d be delighted with a laugh that could fill anyone’s heart. Liam was my person, we were connected on a different level, with a bond that will last through space and time. We were 2 years apart but our souls were twins. I knew him to the core, and vice versa. The twin flame will never die out. Liam had a long life ahead of him and did not deserve to go so soon.

It’s hard to breathe without you.

Rest in eternal peace my Lima bean. You promised you’d never leave me...but I’ll see you on the flip side, and I’m giving you the fattest noogie.
