Just sitting here at 11:18pm after getting home from little brother’s Celebration of Life ceremony and listing to U2 (who he loved) having a beer, tearing up.

It was nice to see his old friends and family friends who knew him. His best friend from childhood, Greg, spoke and and gave me a big hug. It meant a lot.

Sharing stories and memories of such a great guy.

I really miss my little brother. 😭
