Brody Hughes

I remember when you were knee high to a grasshopper, looking like a string bean.  Riding around with me in my Civic.. looking up to your uncle Nate ( who was not setting the best example)  I remember when  some of the summers w/ me when you were like 12 and we'd talk to girls online... and I met my wife, lol.  I remember when you first "macked" on girls and I thought you were a true player, you really made me proud.  I remember when you helped me with whatever chores I had, yardwork or w/e.  I remember how you never judged anyone, always finding the good in everyone.  I remember you and I making so many trips from Ga. to Tn., you hating the greyhound bus..lol.  I can see us walking together around the 4th of July forlike five years in a row at the beach,  with each of my old girlfriends.  You telling me who was the best girl for me.  How you loved your mother, which is hard for a teenager to do.. but you always loved Cindy and had respect for her deep in your heart.  I remember how everyone who knew you, loved you. I remember you taking so much pride in simple possesions and being so neat.  I miss saying "hey Brody, I need your help" and you being there.  I miss calling you and talking about life and all the bullshit that comes with it.  I remember you going to the prom and having more friends than someone could even count.  I remember you living, truly living......now... well, every since that dark day in june, I can only remember hurt.  I know you wouldn't want that, and that you're truly happier than anyone on this earth, but I'm selfish... and I wish you were in my life.  I love you so much and can't wait till the day we can rejoice and catch up on time lost.  I wish you could see your cousin, she's so beautiful.  She wouldn't be here if it weren't for you.  I tell ya Brody, God broke the mold with you... sometimes I wonder if he missed you and wanted you all for himself.  That would make sense you know.   Love Nate-- Happy b day Kermie
