Miss you so much little brother
– Any ClevelandHard to believe you’ve been gone for 20 years but I think about you every day. I know you’d have fun teasing me about being a grandma but you would be head over heels for Lawson
Miss you like crazy every day. I know you’re watching over us but I sure wish you could’ve met my little guy. He’s the sweetest, sassiest thing ever. Keep an extra eye on grandma and grandpa for us. We love you. <3
