29 years ago, my brother fought like hell to try and save his friend Nicole's life and his own. Who he was that night, a selfless hero, is how I will always remember my best friend. My heart is not as full, but I feel him in my soul.
His laugh, his hugs, the way he annoyed the crap out of me as big brothers do, the way he protected me - the way he loved me - keeps me company when the days are hard.
