Dillon,

I was in California for the last week and a half and just finally got settled back in New York. The vacation was a nice break from life on the east coast, and as always your name was in nearly every conversation and put a smile on everyone’s faces. It has been two years and it still feels like a dream from which I am on the verge of awakening from. You could have walked in the front door and nothing would have seemed out of the ordinary. Whenever I close my eyes I see that infectious smile, but what I would give to see it in person. I miss you Dillon, plain and simple. You are always in my thoughts and in my heart, where you will forever stay.

Your cousin,

Jon
