I have known Christian Ripley for almost all my life and we almost free up together he was like a big brother to me and when i found out my heart broke and I love him a lot and I will miss him very very very very very very very much. Every summer he would stop by my house and ask to play with my older brother but if my older brother wasn't there he'd play with me and my younger brother. I had dolls and he would be the dad of one and I would be the mother and of course we didn't act like we were together because I thought that that was gross so my younger brother was a babysitter and it was so much fun.  When I was sad he made me feel like nothing else could make me sad at all.  I know this is long but I have a lot of good memories. And he's the one I started to write poetry. And i never new I would have loved it. Of you want to read some it (winterlovefamily.WordPress.com).
