@dylan.jones2121 I’m lost for words. So many things we never got to experience together. So many things I wanted to share. So many things to teach. So many places to go. You were born days after I met @melspr and everything now cut short. You brought energy, joy, and happiness to my life. My Nephew, my brother, my son, my friend. See you again, and theres a glass of Cabernet waiting for you at Gate14, Chicago O’Hare. Oscar Mike.
