One Year.

I can't believe it has been a year since my cousin, Brian, got to see our Lord face to face.  As I told a friend the other day- it seems like this happened an eternity ago, but that entire eternity took place 24 hours ago.

I miss you dearly, cousin.  I can still remember you eating an entire Toblerone a few Christmases ago waiting for dinner.  I remember going to your Ring Hop at the Citadel.  I remember going to a few of your football games in high school.  I remember the drum noises you used to make when there was silence.  All of this is fresh.

A lot can change in a year- but the love for a family member- whether they are physically present or not- doesn't. We all miss you, Brian, and cannot wait to see you again on the other side.

 Today, lift up the Holmes family, for strength, for love.
