BRIAN
Brian is 20 years old.

He was born on October 18, 1980

He was 2 years old when he was diagnosed.

Brian

Brian James our first born son

He is our love our hearts delight

He has so much love inside but to get it out he has to fight.

Beautiful eyes beautiful hair

To look at him you can't help but care

He's in a world all by himself

How can we enter without his help

So calm, so gentle, kind and sweet

His warmth so strong, he can't be beat

When you look at him there's nothing wrong

But somewhere there's a piece that isn't strong

He loves his Mom, Daddy, and Kevin so much

But something inside his head holds back his right to touch.

He's in our world and can never be replaced

We love him so much, that beautiful face

No matter what we'll stick by him

Beside to help him through everything.

If life gets tough

We'll be there for him

He is our life through everything

BRIAN OUR LOVE FOR LIFE
