"I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare." - Ned Vizzini

My brother Joey was everything to me. He was like the father I never had. Sadly, his life ended on September 11th, 2001 at the age of 23. Although I miss my brother very dearly, I know that he is happy in those clouds above waiting for me to come home. So now I must share with you his story before he was gone.
