"People never notice what they have until it's gone"

You will never know how true this statement is until it happens to you. Last year in July I lost three people very dear to me and unfortunately I still have yet to deal with the grief that goes along with it. My son Jason Alexander McDonald, my brother and best friend Barry Scott McDonald Jr. and last but definately not least my nephew Arion Trent McDonald. My son was the youngest of the three and at only eight months was the best baby anyone could ever ask for. He was teething and still slept through the night. Now the next in age Arion my nephew and the sweetest little boy you could ever meet. He was 2 years old and anything you asked him to do he would. When it came to politeness this boy took the grand prize. Everything was please and thank you and the please came in multiples of threes. Now the oldest but the biggest kid of the three Barry Jr. he was 20 years old and couldn't have been a bigger pain in my rear end but I had to love him. Not because he was my brother but because he could be the best friend any one could ask for. He was there for me even though I never realized it. I know it now and I wish I would have knew it then maybe I would have appreciated him a little bit more. There were times that I thought he was the biggest jurk in the world for not sticking up for me but then I found out after I left the room he would stick up for me. Well I think that is enough for now so I will end this with a thank you for reading and cherish what you have please! Just remember everything is not always as it seems and be thankful that you have what you have because when it's gone you will regret that you no longer have it!
