my favorite memory has been shared here before but for the new guys/girls, i'll share it one more time.
i was a poster on brett's website & got to know the guys who run the website. thru the course of conversation, they all knew my dad was in the last stages of his battle with cancer. i decided to have a HUGE 70th birthday party for him. the guys on the site found out about it & told brett. i got a message from one of them asking if it would be ok if brett sent my dad a birthday letter. we got the letter the day of my dad's party. my mom called me crying & said i had to read it out loud that nite at the party. so, in front of well over 100 people, i read the letter to my dad. i don't think there was a dry eye in the place & brett made even MORE fans that evening. one month later, my dad was gone. i then received a couple private messages from brett expressing his sympathy & telling me he knew how i felt after losing his own dad & to hold onto the memories. the letter from brett was framed & placed near my dad's casket during the visitation & funeral.
oh geez - now i'm ready to cry.
