I talked to Sis today. She got pretty messed up about the whole thing, too.

I talked to Lily today, too. Me and her would have never said it to your face, but we both had a huge crush on you.

I caught myself looking at some pictures of you yesterday. You looked so happy. How can someone look so happy and struggle so much?

Your funeral date was posted. It's the tenth. Your family asked for the public to wear white in your memory.

That was kind of funny to me. Remember when no one could pronounce your last name and somebody said it wrong, you had said it was "The whitest thing ever."

I think the biggest thing on my mind right now is the Cinderella stories. I miss them. You somehow managed to turn that into my favorite Disney movie.

We miss you. Sis said she didn't want to be sad anymore because you wouldn't want us to be sad forever. She's right.

You always used to be so happy. You wouldn't want us to be sad.

It's really hard, though. See, being a theater kid means a lot. Including being adopted into a huge family.

Did you know we all saw you as a brother? You were more than a friend. You were our role model.

I want to be just like you when I'm older.

You were so talented. You used to dance so beautifully. I've watched your ukulele videos so many times. I think I could probably play those songs by heart.

I wish there were more. No. I wish you were still here so I could hear you play in person.

You were amazing.
