My brother my best friend. We were together all of our lives seperated by not more than a few steps always. So close that when people met us they thought we were a couple. I love him dearly and will never let him go. I will be with him again one day. He was a good hardworking man. Honest almost to a fault loved his children even though was a kind of hard sometimes. Wonderfull grandfather even though for such a short time. I am sure he is still watching over all of us.
Dad used to have this parrot named, Ruben. This was his favorite pet and he loved that bird as though he had birthed it himself. My dad cried when that bird died. He had a feather that belonged to Ruben and kept it sticking out from the side of his bathroom mirror. I remember me coming over to clean and every single time he would say, "Now don't touch that feather! It belonged to Ruben. I want to keep it exactly where it's at." Haha, as though I didn't remember him saying it the first time. So, because of the meaning that keeping that feather had behind it, when we went to bury Daddy's ashes, I had them open the urn and I placed that feather in it along side him.
What i remember most was his heart, it didnt' matter what was going on Eddie just wanted everyone to get along, he loved to fish and was proud of his kids, i don't think they will ever really understand just how proud he really was. and he adored his granddaughter, he was totally a happy grandpa, his face just lit up on the mention of her name. and i miss him calling me everyday like 5 to 8 times a day and i miss our breakfast dates we had every other Thursday at Dennys, i just miss him and i miss our talks that we had everyday, i just miss my best friend....
