Hello everyone I am so sorry I havent updated anyone since Austin passed away as you can all imagine it has been a very difficult time learning to live without our hero we have gone through many many emotions and feelings for I wont say they are easier now. At the moment things are really bad for Eddie he is missing his brother so much reality has sunk in he is failing his classes at school getting in to fights talking back to myself and his teachers unfortunately counseling doesnt seem to be helping.Anyways I just figured out how to log in and update will try to keep in touch better. For now I want leave you a little poem.

THE PASSAGE
If you could see through my eyes
Feel through my heart
Exist in my flesh,
Walk in my shoes.

Only then can you obtain,
A glimpse into my life,
The sadness of my soul,
The agony of my pain,
The journey within each step.
