"It’s interesting how you remember exactly what you were doing the week leading up to the day that changed everything. You ask yourself questions, big ones, what if type ones and you beat yourself up wondering if an action you did or didn’t do could change the fate. But ultimately somethings can just not be changed, they can now, only be carried."

"While your wings may have been ready, our hearts were obviously not. I can only hope to find some comfort in the thought that you have found peace my sweet brother. Your memory will live on in my heart forever and ever.

As I walk forward in my life without you, I will try my hardest to walk beside my grief. I know it will cross my path more often than not at first, but I will use it as a constant reminder to live big and genuinely, just like you, Just like Carter."
