Seven years ago today we lost my big brother Jason. It feels like it has been an eternity since I have seen him, but at the same time it feels like just the other day he was here making everyone laugh! I miss everything about him! Sometimes I still forget that he is gone and think maybe he will just walk through the front door for Sunday dinner. I am so grateful that I was able to know him and have him as a brother. I am so thankful that he is a part of our family, and that he didn't go a day sooner than he did.
One thing that I love about Jason is that he always had a music in his heart. He was either singing, playing the piano or guitar, or tapping along to some tune. I love how much he loved animals! I love how he was such a brilliant and funny person. He could always make new friends with anyone and was always making people laugh. I remember when we were little, Jason came up with a game for us to play called, "Who wants to be a 'Chip'-a-naire?" Where he would ask us questions like on Who wants to be a millionaire?, but he would give us potato chips as a prize in place of money! He always had something creative up his sleeve like that!
I miss you so much Jason! I really can not wait to be able to see you again and hear you laughing and singing once more! I love you so much!
I know that waiting to see you again will be one of the hardest things our family will ever have to do, but the important thing to remember is that WE WILL SEE YOU AGAIN!! I know that by having the Gospel in our lives we will once again be in your presence someday! I know that through the incredible power of the Plan of Salvation our family will be whole again once more!
Even though we can't see you, I know that you are always here with us, I have felt your presence many times. Thank you for watching over us and for watching over all of our sweet nieces and nephews before they came into this world. I know that Evelyn has been watched over by you and that you will ensure her safe arrival into this world.
I love you Jason! So much!
Thanks for making me cry! I love you guys, you're all on my mind more than you know. Jason was such a good and accepting friend to me, I have countless good memories of time we spent together. He helped me get through a really tough period of my life and I'll never forget his friendship. Give your family hugs from me. <3
