Hey Bro!! God I dont know where to start, it's almost been a year since you've gone and it still feels like it was yesterday we were hanging out together. I was reading through some of your closest friends and family's thought's and I started remembering some of my own. I remember it like it was a few minutes ago, I remember when you first got to Ft Irwin, it was during morning formation and I was told that I had a new soldier. I must admit that I was not expecting someone like you to show up! I remember you asked me, " What do you want me to do!!" Remeber? I told you I wanted you to have my back and that I would do the same for you. I guess we both keep our word. T i sit alone so many times thinking about that day, I remember talking to you that day, I watched you as you rode off, smoking my cig like always ! I still remeber what we talked about bro!!! I also remeber rushing to see you as soon as I heard the new's, I rushed as fast as I could but by the time I got their you were gone and all that was left was your bike. Bro I've seen alot of thing's but that will alway's stay burnt into my memory. T I've keep this to myself but that day When they where going to fly you out to loma linda I was going to give you something, I had it through my first tour in Iraq it keep me safe and I was going to give it to you but that day on the helipad I froze. I did'nt know how to handle seeing you like that. I brought back memories of all the friends I have lost in the past and their I was again, this time lossing a Brother. I miss you everyday and I try to live my life the best way I can. T i'm out here alone all our friends are gone now, just me and my bike, it's the only thing besides my memories that keeps me close to you. I often ride alone hoping to see you, Hearing you say " I got you Josh", trust me their were a couple of times you must have gotten me cause I should have been chillin up in heaven with you!! LOL! Anyway's Bro I got some new's for ya! I'm having a baby!! Is'nt that great, I bet he's going to get tired of me talking about you all the time. Will before I go I got one more thing to say? Who do you think rocks the fifty better, you or me? LOL I Love you bro and I'll alway's think about you! Till we meet again! One wheel!!
