Celebrating you!

Today we are celebrating you my brother. Tomorrow you would have been turning 18 years old. The little brother I always wanted, I didn’t get to have you for as long as I should have but I will forever have you in my heart. Love you and miss you Michael! ❤️ Today is all about you!

Dawn GilmoreYou gave him his first nephew. Because of you he learned what true unconditional love was at such a young age. He would do anything for him 🧡

Missing you, bro.

Today we all get together to celebrate your 18th birthday. Although you aren’t physically here to bop me on the top of the head.. I feel your presence and miss you more than anything! Until we meet again, I’ll cherish memories like this one. A favorite of mine! ❤️
