In loving memory of my brother and best friend, Ron Redmond, who passed away four years ago today, August 9th, 2006.

You're still here in my heart and mind,

Still making me laugh cause your stories live on.

I hold you in a thought

And I can feel you near.

I feel you and this gives me strength and courage.

The tears I have cried for you could flood the earth

And I know you have wiped each one away.

I cry cause I miss you most of all.

But I cry cause we not only lost you that day,

But we lost something else,

The family bond that we all once shared.

I will always hold you in my heart.

I will be missing you everyday till the end of time,

I need to breathe.

I need to love and miss you

I also need to live because through me you will live,

You will still laugh and love,

You will forever be in our lives,

You will forever be a brother,

A dad

A son

An uncle

And friend.

I will always miss your shining face

I think of you and wonder why?

I might cry or smile,

But at the end of the day,

I am one day closer to you

I know this will take time.

I love you, Ron, give Dad a hug and kiss and take a ride for me.
