Is it possible?? Very early this morning, 21 years ago, Annie decided it would be a good project to re-do the back hall while everyone waited for the word that you had been born. If memory serves me, it was 2 a.m. when I heard what Annie was all about. It's the first vivid memory I have of that day. We waited and waited and waited; you took your own sweet time to enter the world.
And now here you are, 21 years later, a young man coming into your own.
There's a special emptiness in this house without you - a "missing" place quite unlike those left behind by your sisters and brother. Nobody can fill that space but you. And nobody would want to.
And that, I think, is a good measure of how much you are loved by all of us.
I miss you, Brent. But I'm happy for you; as are we all.
And I can't wait to meet you again in October.
Have a very Happy Birthday, sweetheart. The Birthday Balloon, as always, is here, even if you aren't.
PS What a special day it is today: Paul is going home! I don't suppose any one of us will ever forget this day!

Hey what's up your man Method getting heckled and bloodied on stage by the Juggalos at the Insane Clown Posse concert? You might have warned him that it might not be his crowd.
