Best friends and gunfighters.......

Alex and Caitlyn were always best friends. They loved each other as few brothers and sisters did. He "watched" out for her when the boys started sniffing around and she coached him on girls and clothes. As children they were almost always together. He gave her her first "silver dollar salute". Good lord, they were beautiful together.

About 20 years later...

Last year we were all so shocked stupid that we didn't know to eat when we were hungry. This year we know how much of Christmas she was part of and miss her so much. My wife and I have been on the verge of tears for the past two weeks.

Send some positive vibes this way, please, it always helps. Please remember our other sixgun brother who lost his son this year. These times try ones character.

Don't close the year with any loose ends with anyone important to you. Things happen fast.
