Hi, Josh. You don't know me - I am Paige's cousin. Her dad and I are "first string" cousins and Paige is my "second string" cousin. I am so proud of her - and I love her like CRAZY! I was at Jenny's service and your words touched my heart. I said "good-bye" to my older brother 7 years ago. One of the things you said that resonated so deeply with me was "I've never know life without Jenny." My brother, Miller, and I were 17 months apart. I still wish he was here to share life with me. Somedays I still want to pick up the phone and ask for his advise or tell him something. When he first died, I couldn't breathe it hurt so bad. And it still hurts today but the breathing is easier. When I became older than he was when he died, it felt so strange. Now I live each day and celebrate each year "for him." I know he and Jenny are together in heaven - and I know that he would want me to have the most amazing earth experience while I'm living here - and then, WOW, we get eternity together. Nothing helps right now - everything feels like it no longer fits. God and time heals - know that your family has touched the lives of thousands - and we will never be the same again. Thank you for living outloud for us.
Yes we do.
