Knox-
This year marks 7 years we´ve had to press on without you here. Every day is a struggle. Girls have grown and Gavin is with you. I am still not sure how to do this thing called life without you. But time to Marine up and March on. I love you.

Didn't think we were going to lose you bro, I would have probably said more at the hospital. It wasn't supposed to end this way in my mind, but God put us in a imperfect and dangerous world. I tried to be the best older brother I could be. I hope at least in your eyes I was.
