To the friend I had to move on from:

I wish it didn’t end this way. I wish I could change the story, fixing the broken bits and gluing them back together.

I want you to know that it broke my heart to move on from you. I loved you with my whole self, nothing held back. I thought we would be friends when we were old and cranky, cracking jokes in the nursing home and remembering the days our kids were young. I didn’t plan for losing you.

You were there for some of my very best days and for some of my very worst, and I was there for yours. We shared a hundred beautiful moments and hundred more hard ones. It hurts to remember it sometimes, knowing it will never be the same.

I won’t ever regret knowing you. I won’t ever regret loving you.

I hate that I could no longer take care of me and stay around you. I hate that we grew apart and our paths took us different directions. I hate the ways we hurt each other however unintentionally.

I wish I could undo it all, and weave our stories back together somehow.

I wish I could uncomplicated it, and make it simple again. I can’t, I know that, and it’s hard.

For now, I want you to know, in my deepest heart, from my very core:

I wish you well.

I pray that the things you told me you wished for and dreamed of for your life would come true.

I pray your days are full of sunshine, your nights are full of rest, and your heart is full of peace.

Love,

Me

Forever in our hearts. We will never be the same. FOREVER 33

Written by my stepmother Marisa Etchells:

Today marks the 2nd year anniversary of Brandons death , he passed away from an accidental overdose of fentanyl.
The first year 2022 was filled with so much love and support. I couldn’t have made it through as well as I did without my family and friends.
Thank you all.
Year two 2023 was somewhat different, as life continued on for all of you . ( as it should have)
I , however had my own personal journey of acceptance and reality that Brandon was really gone.
I have had some really sad days some spent between myself and God.
I felt anger, confusion, anxiety and heartbreak 💔
People might say , well it’s time to move forward. although this is true . I will never really be the same going forward , as a piece of my heart soul and bloodline is gone.
I will forever be a broken mother.
I wish I could have saved him from himself.
God knows I tried.
Now I have to save myself and live my life as he would want me too.
Brandon is with me every day I feel him.
I see the signs!
I pray he is at peace and knowing he doesn’t have to battle his addiction anymore.
I can honestly say that the worst thing I had to go through was getting the call that he was gone
I will never have to wait for that agian.
It was my fear.
The Marisa that you once knew is a different person now.
I am shattered but stronger.
I have become emotionally independent.
I realize now this is my grief …my sadness….. my Son.
I will forever hold Brandon close to my heart and soul.
Tomorrow I will spend the day with Payton and an overnight visit with my daughter Briana Regine.
It’s important that we are together.
We will honor Brandon !
Thank you to everyone who has been there for me and my family.
