Today would be your 55th birthday , it’s also the third birthday you have not been with us. I have never needed you more these last two years.
I remind myself if it wasn’t for this day of March 6th we would have never had you . So today I feel so THANKFUL for the day that dad walked in the snow to grandma Busselle‘s house with his black trenchcoat on and snow on his shoulders and said he’s here you have a little brother. Ok .. so I wanted a sister, but you were everything I could ever have wanted all bundled up into one.!
You Were with me on every monumental time in my life, meeting Julian , my wedding, the birth of Bradley, the birth of Alex, building old gun , breaking in the beach house when we bought it, concerts , first person to visit us in Laguna Beach. …of course, my first visit to Palm Springs with your work, Virginia Museum jazz nights, speeding tickets in my brand new Fierro , Riding horses, pool diving in Buffalo , riding motorcycles, tennis tennis tennis, college graduations , all of our kids first communions you name it we did it.
We all miss you every minute of the day !! I miss our Daily 5 PM FaceTimes and so so much more. I’m grateful that I had you, I’m grateful you are my brother, I’m grateful you were my first real friend I ever had.
We all continue to honor everything about you, don’t worry the spaghetti and meatballs and sugar cookies will be made tonight with Julian , Brad, Alex, and myself all celebrating you and of course we will do a jack and Coke toast for you my little bro❤️ a dozen white roses at the church here too. None of it does you Justice.
I love you , if Oliver found you hold him tight little bro hold him real tight❤️❤️❤️❤️
