Remember the time...

2013 didn't start out how we would have liked, I hate that I have to post this in past tense but I believe it needs to be said- Remember the time: Seth would hide our shoes so we couldn't leave Grandma Karen's house... Seth would say the dinner prayer and would pray for the alligators, sharks, and every animal under the sun... Seth was playing Hoopla and was trying to describe Madonna (aleagueofverone?)... Seth would show everyone his birthmark... Seth would go downstairs and would be cuddled up next to his dad... Seth was the second funniest kid in his school... Seth ate 5 ice creams at my wedding just to get a girls number (and no he never asked for it, just kept going back for more ice cream)... Seth would look up to his brother... Seth would be sitting at Grandma's kitchen table and would have the biggest grin on his face when we would show up... Seth's laugh would make everyone's day... Seth talking music... Seth talking TheChive... Seth being a steady rock in his family... Seth being everyone's best friend... Seth would light up any room he was in... trying to explain to people how he wasn't just my cousin... I got the phone call at 10:20 at night that made my heart drop, made me think I was in a dream, made me wish it was a nightmare... Remember the time, that we had to say goodbye. It was the hardest goodbye I've had to say- I loved my cousin and I miss him everyday- I hope that I can live my life the way he lived his, he lived life at the fullest and he never saw anything negative in life, he just lived and lived it well! I want my children to know who he was, and how he lived. I hope that I can live my life in the way that he did so that my children can see how life should be lived and loved. Remember the time, I wish I would have hidden your shoes so that you didn't leave yet? Seth thank you for being such an amazing example to us.
