You have become the man I always wanted to be. Whether you know it or not, you are an inspiration to me in all areas of life. Honestly, in everything I do, I think of you. I am your older brother and will always fight for you and my family. Family is all that matters to me.
You have done and continued to make unbelievable steps in your growth as a man, husband and father. I could not be any prouder of you Code!!
