A memory of Waylin

I have so many stories but one thats been heavy on my mind is the holidays we spent together. I dont have a childhood holiday memory without him. When it was just us two sleeping together the night before Christmas, putting up the christmas tree together, and always sneaking deviled eggs before everyone arrived for thanksgiving. I didn’t just lose my brother, I lost a part of my childhood. And how great is it to miss something so dearly because you loved it so much. We miss you so much Waylin.
