THANK YOU, tonight I want to thank every single person who has been on Brandons rip page, who has read about his life and shared in my joy and gotten to know Brandon through this page. For everyone who has sent wonderful kind messages about what an amazing young man Brandon was and is and how they love to get to know him, or if you knew him how you remember him. Thank you for sharing in the positive that was Brandons life. Along with the positive that was and is Brandons life comes the negative and the way he was killed. I want to thank you again for sharing in the positive but also for allowing yourself to cry/hurt and share in the outrage at his death and the outcome for the way he was killed. I know people have said that we need to celebrate all Brandon was and is, and believe me I do and I know you share that with me on here. But unfortunately for me there is the negative side as well, and so many of you have stayed with me in this journey for both sides of it and I thank you all so much. I thank you for letting me share Brandon, the positive side and the negative side with you all. Thank you for getting to know Brandon and his whole story and thank you for staying with me and Brandon through the good and the bad. Some people think there is only the negative and that is all I can focus on, maybe this is true. I dont believe I am an angry person, or have anger issues, yes I am angry that Brandon is not here living his life...any parent would be, yes I am angry with the justice not done for Brandons life and his death, any parent would be. Yes I fight for the petition, and yes when we speak of the petition it is negative....how could being killed by a drunk driver and the sentence be anything but negative. But I believe something positive can come out of my fight for the petition and your fight, as so many of you have helped me. I remember and treasure all the beautiful and amazing years with Brandon and that is positive, but how could the negative not creep in with tears because we cant make anymore amazing years. I know I cry a lot and I know I cry openly and that makes people uncomfortable...I wonder how a parent could not cry for the longing and missing of their child and that childs life. Regardless I know there are so many of you that have been on this journey with me and with Brandon from the beginning and I know many of you have stayed with us on this journey in the treasured memories and the negative outcome with the courts. You have allowed me to share every single aspect (good and bad) and have supported me and Brandon through it all. I want to thank ALL of you because you have helped me in ways you can not even imagine and you have come to know an amazing young man, his life and his death and you will remember him and think of him and of me. I could not have come this far without ALL of you and I thank you for being here for us. So does Brandon because he knows I couldnt do this without him or all of you. Thank you dear friends...near and far. You are all amazing with beautiful kind hearts. I will never ever forget your kindness and love for Brandon and our family.
