Happy Birthday Tony
I wish this was easier by now. Chase is becoming more and more like you every day, thank God.... For once it would be awesome to fight over licking the mixing bowl and mixers, usually I got beat up and lost, but damn I tried….. Wouldn't mind having you scare off any guy within sight either, and yes I'm old enough to date now...... Getting caught drinking by the parents is horrifying, but yea, we can give that a whirl again too…..Remember how awkward it was when we all met? LOL, days later, best friends…. I felt so stupid when you guys, at dinner one day, all laughed so hard at me when I told you I wanted a career at ITT tech, I was serious!!!.... Visiting you at rehab sucked so so bad, the look in your eyes, it was so hard to leave, you just wanted to come home, not to make macaroni artwork.... Kind of a relief not being forced to tickle your gross clammy feet, I'd do it again, but only cuz you'd make me….. I always hated it because all my friends had crushes on you ever since our parents married, you knew you could get any of them with that cheezy smile and dimples…... Remember trying to teach me how to fight when I was supposed to fight someone in high school? Your mom kept yelling at you "teach her Tony", you had too many friends, they all scared her away, I never got a chance lol.... I would've won, right? It's the best feeling hearing the words "Aunt Sawah". Chase has your attitude and everything. I'm so glad he’s "all Tony", and seriously, don't worry.... He's a Kraus in all of our hearts. I miss you man, this is different……Can't wait to see you again; hopefully it'll be awhile, but keep God and your Grandpa company, I guess it’s time we have to share you.......
Loving and missing you every second for the rest of my life....
