I was waiting until his birthday to write a post about another special guy in my life. But then today an unexpected message was sent to me from him via facebook and it absolutely warmed my heart...
That cool guy dressed in the Caption America gear is my cousin Corey aka Corey Porne Jaffray Madore on facebook. See I have 4 cousins (my aunt Cindy moms sister). I've already written about the twins Mathieu and Jay and Christine. I was waiting to write about Corey, but he sent me a message today that I just had to blog about. Last year he went travelling and was living in London England for awhile. He was working at a cinema and had the opportunity to sport this cool outfit when the movie came out. This is so fitting for Corey and of course he looks awesome!!
I received a message from him today that really touched me. As I said when I started this blog 96 days ago. This will be a real challenge. I mean 365 days!!! But I kicked cancer ass so blogging for 1 year shouldn't be a problem.....ha!! As many of you have commented and let me know that you have been reading my blogs and how you look forward to them. I can't even tell you what that means to me. I mean...wow!! But to receive a message today from my cousin who is young and caught up in his own life to take the time to sit down and send me a heartwarming message.............wow! He let me know that he reads my blogs daily and wanted me to know how amazing I am and how proud he is of me. It honestly brought tears to my eyes.
Corey has always been such a sweet kid. Good looking, intelligent, crazy and such a kind heart. He is a gentle soul. I was 17 when Corey was born and right from the start he had a piece of my heart. It's just one of those things you can't explain. He was like a little brother to me. I watched him grow. When I got sick, it was so hard for me to see them. I knew that they always looked up to me and I never wanted them to see me that way. We all embraced and I told them that I was going to be okay. That's a promise I plan to keep.
So this blog today is a tribute to my cousin Corey: You have grown from such a sweet little boy into an amazing man and I couldn't be more proud of you. We don't have to talk for you to know how much you mean to me. I support you and have an unconditional love. Thank you for your amazing message that has lifted me up today. Thank you for your words of encouragement to continue with my blog and conquer this challenge!! I miss you much and love you!!
Thanks for reading, sharing and commenting. Giving so much thanks and sending much love!!!
