Round 36

Round 35 was a pretty wild ride.  The highs were pretty bloody high and the lows were pretty hellishly low.

For a while, I wasn't really sure that I wanted to stick around for Round 36.  It hurt too much.

I am turning 36 today (7/7).  And, I know why.

I am turning 36 today for my baby brother, Jacob, and I will live the rest of my days for Jacob.

Because someone has to stick around to honor his memory.

And, I will.

Everything I do for the rest of my life I do to honor my beloved baby brother.

Here's to you, kid.

Jacob Michael Braasch (01/28/86 - 02/02/10)
