    It has been two months and I miss you terribly. I wish that you were here to talk to the kids and tell some stories. It has been really tough, but I know you are keeping busy.

    Words that will always remind me of my little brother Dave. Saxophone, jaw harp, kazoo, motocross bikes, VW Beetle, cartoon drawing, painting, 70's music, laughter and smiles. He will always be in my heart forever.

    This is the morning of our kidney donation/transplant surgery. I couldnā€™t wait for them to grab it out of me and put it in you. That morning seemed like it couldnā€™t arrive fast enough. That kidney was always meant to be yours not mine. I donā€™t know...  more
