william... i'll always remember how you made everyone feel special just by talking to them. i hope you knew how much you were loved. my little brother looked up to you so much, especially on the baseball team. you're the one who gave him his "steve the pirate" nickname and he thought it was the coolest thing ever. to him, you were the absolute height of awesomeness. it seems so unfair that someone as amazing as you was taken so early...but i know we'll all get to see you again. love you kid.
