A tribute to my brother.
They say family is defined by blood, but our story proved that family is actually defined by the heart. Thanks to my dad, James and I were brought into each other's lives, and we grew into a brother and sister who were as close as any siblings could ever be. James wasn’t just a part of my life; he was a pillar of it.James faced his battle with cancer with the same grit, passion, and resilience that he brought to everything he loved. He was a die-hard New Orleans Saints fan through and through, understanding better than anyone what it meant to fight hard, cheer loudly, and stay loyal through every single quarter of life.Though he gained his wings on August 13, the black and gold spirit he carried, his laughter, and the unbreakable bond we shared will never fade. He fought the good fight, and now he is resting in peace.When the Saints go marching in, James, I know you will be right there leading the crowd. You will always be my brother, and I will carry you in my heart forever. Black and gold forever, and a brother's love always. Please make sure you tell daddy what I said.
-Love Shay (Chaisity)
