To my older brother and friends,

As I start my junior year at SHU, I can’t help but realize how fast time actually flew. SHU is so different now that you aren’t here. I decided the other day to take a drive by your old houses on Charron Street. I started tearing up as I saw all these new cars parked in the driveway and out front. It really hit me that those houses aren’t yours anymore and you all are gone.

Those houses held more than just memories, they held a group of guys that grew into a family and especially older brothers to me. I am blessed to have spent a lot of time in those houses. They became a second home to all of us and I wouldn’t have traded it for anything.

It’a crazy how fast 2 years of college went by in the blink of an eye. It feels like just yesterday I was getting in one of your cars to stuff alcohol in my backpack to sneak in the freshman dorms or getting fast food for dinner and just jamming out to One Direction. I miss that, and I miss coming over to hangout and watch football. I miss so much but most importantly I miss the family you guys built over the years. Thank you for taking me in and letting me be a part of it.

When I look back on my first two years of college I think about all of you. You guys were a big part of it and there was no way I could have done it without you. You helped me through thick and thin and a thank you is not nearly enough. I wish so much that you guys could live in those houses for just 2 more years until I graduate. I can’t wait for the weekends that you guys come up to SHU to visit. Soon enough ill be legal to hit up the bars with you.

Thank you all again for an unforgettable 2 years of college. No amount of words can describe my appreciation for everything you have done for me. I love and miss you all so much. I hope the real world is treating you well but don’t forget to take a break from being adults and come visit me!!
