365 days ago my brother took his last breath... In the last year, so much has changed. A lot have battles have been fought with some wins and a few learns. I used to live a lifestyle that was a lot more reckless, I was "just a kid from Pueblo who isn't supposed to make it anyway", and never really gave a damn about life or death. But, now I recognize just how precious life is and how foolishly immature I was. After crying uncontrollably while holding his lifeless body on the mortuary slab, questioning why, why him and not me, something inside of me changed and a switch was flipped. There is a big picture now, there is a vision, and thanks to a lot of great people surrounding and supporting me, a dream is really being chased. Thank you all. More than being sad, bitter, angry, depressed, etc. I am fucking driven. Driven to not let his memory fade and show him the world through my lens head-on with his guardian angel wings resting on my back. Losing my brother still messes me up and brings me to some real character building moments; there's no denying that. However, I remind myself that every moment and every breath that I have here is one in which he did not get. My brother may have left this Earth physically, but his spirit still rides with me everywhere. I love you baby brother, see you again someday. #CFTPG #RIPJAK #Brothers #GuardianAngel #SeeYouAgainSomeday #GoneButNotForgotten #OneYear https://www.instagram.com/p/BuWW0izg9hX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sbbliiqp5uj6
