Thank you, it's been really tough. Me & Connor were pretty far apart in age and he was more than just a brother to me. I was a 'second mother' to him, if you will, and took care of him a lot
He was my little buddy. I was away in Florida when the accident happened and it's a longgg story but it shouldn't have happened. Such a preventable tragedy. My mom feels such guilt from the whole thing, it was a sporadic thing that happened. She was such an overprotective worry wart who would NEVER let him go to a pool or anywhere with someone else. She was a real estate agent at the time and was signing a contract for a friend when he asked my mom if Connor wanted to go to the pool with him and his 2 step-children. Naturally, my mom tried everything under the sun to get him NOT to go... but she gave in. But, it's a long story! I just miss him every day.
