I remember as kids we thought we were invincible. Racing cars and endless roller skating. Staying out late and getting up early for school. Your parents were my parents and my parents were yours. You were my added brother by choice. So many times we lived on the edge and laughed at it all. As we both got older and lived our lives, we always stayed in touch. Just a phone call away. My life has been richer because of you. Not money wise but with so many things that money can’t buy. Laughter, tears, deepest secrets, fears and joys of life. You have been there for me. You’ve given me advice and had no problem putting me in my place when needed. I have been blessed to of had you in my life. You have been my truest friend for 52 years. I remember you and I busting out laughing at the mere mention of you and I ever getting married. To you and I that was halarious. Neither one of us wanted to . Our friendship was strong enough to last forever unlike a marriage. I will miss you like crazy and forever remember that as kids, we thought we were invincible. I love you my brother, ride free till we meet agian💗😭
