Hello Brandon, Its Nana here...wishing you a Happy 18th Birthday! I wish you were here so I could make you some food and bake you a cake. Then I would invite the family over so we can help you celebrate your special day. Of course everyone would have shown up with a lot of smiles and well wishes, gifts and goodies! We would probably be having a Graduation party as well as you would have been graduating from high school. You probably would be making plans for college and most likely you would have had a pretty girl hanging on to your arm. You had your whole life ahead of you...your future ahead of you and I know you would have been so happy and excited. Well, GOD had other plans and to this day I can not help but wonder why you had to get so sick. Why does GOD let some live and others not? I still have mixed emotions about how the whole thing turned out. GOD is is control they say and I believe that, but why you? Only time will tell and maybe I won't ever know. I just hold on to the hope that I will be reunited with you someday. We all your loved ones will see each other in Paradise. I feel sad that you got sick and passed and every year I will honor your short life here on Earth. As I've said before it's a bittersweet day because as you know it's also your Tia Marisa's 33rd birthday. Brandon she is so happy with her hubby Jon. He is such a kind and caring guy. You would have loved him just as much as Tia Marisa. Did I mention she goes to the Dr. tomorrow to confirm if she is pregnant? I am over the moon and so happy about it. You know your sister Emily will be 12 in December so it's about time for another grandchild. Please ask GOD to watch over Marisa and Jon. My prayer is that they have a happy and healthy child. Well, I better log off...I don't have much to do today, but I do see the Dentist tomorrow. Again, Happy 18th Brandon. Love you to the Moon and back! Nana Dee XOXOXO
