View all 687 ReflectionsWow! It has been 15 years since that horrible night. I can honestly say that I have thought about you everyday in the past 15 years. I rode in the Unity Tour this year in your honor. I trained hard and physically the ride was pretty easy, emotionally it was very difficult. I knew it would be hard, but Friday morning I was a wreck. I did it and it was an absolutely amazing experience. That ride changed my life, I am in such a great place now. I am at peace with everything that has happened and am the happiest I have ever been. Jordan has turned into an amazing young woman and I want to thank you for always watching out for her. She is a lot like you and she needs you to watch out for her...LOL. It does make me sad that she didn't have you in her life. You two would have been very close. Keep watching over the family, Haley heads out to Arizona tomorrow to start college. She will do amazing things. Shelby is playing in a band, I love watching her up on that stage! I miss you and wish you were sharing in all of these life changes with us. I will keep making sure you are never forgotten!! Love you little brother!!!!
