In loving memory of my best friend and brother, Ronny Redmond who passed away one year ago today, August 9th, 2006.

It's been a long year in some ways since you were ripped from our lives that dreadful night. Then, there are days like it was yesterday you where here and we were riding our bikes.

Ronny, there is not a day that goes by I don't look at your picture and think of all the good times we had. There's not a day that goes by I don't talk to you and Dad.

Only you and God know how much I miss you. Even after a year I still ask why? Why did God need to take you so soon, Why?

When I hear the phone ring and wish it could be you calling but I know that's impossible. I did not answer the last time you called just two hours before you were taken from us. I ask myself what if all the time, if I would have answered that night would you still be with us? What did you want that night when you called? Were you calling just to gripe or were you calling to tell me something was wrong and you needed me? I hate myself for not answering to hear your voice or to tell you that I love you.

Oh how I miss our phone calls, you calling me about your problems, or just to make plans to go riding. I wish I could see you again, but I know that's impossible, until the day comes that God decides it's my time to join you and Dad in Heaven. And when that day comes I will have my arms open wide to hug you and Dad.

I know you can see all of us cry for you, but I also know you don't want us to cry, yet our hearts are broken, because yet we don't understand why?

Yet we are thankful for all the wonderful memories you left us with, which will never part from us for they are deep within our hearts. I can not tell you how many tears I have cried since the day you left, but everything I see seems to remind me of all the things we did together, like the places we went on our rides.

I miss you Ronny, there's a part of me missing, life will never be the same. I hang my head and cry oh why did God choose you? I just ask why and cry. You're forever deep in my heart, love you and miss you.

Give Dad a big kiss for me and hug him for me till I can myself. Love you always, you'll never be forgotten.
