Officer Down Memorial Page

Not sure why the memory of my cousin came into mind. perhaps the thought of my Aunt, Brians mother. I recall the year i spent with her just after Brian passed. Trying to be there as a distraction by allowing her to care for me and my sister. By the end of the year, with us being young teenagers, she could not handle it. I felt horrible that i was not able to help her with this and then she losing her husband a few short years later. The last time i saw my Aunt Emily she resembled my grandmother too well and in a way i feel still a connection to my late grandmother. I hope that Dylon (my second cousin) has found some kind of peace like i have and wish to one day see him again. its been way too long and that vision of him so young and in so much pain still haunts me sometimes. like today i suppose. Seeing his father for the first and last time and knowing..that is not how he should look. i have seen the post from Dylon and am amazed he has grown so much. now even more. well..i suppose i had to release some of these thoughts. i still wish Dylon well and hope to see him again one day.
