He didn't complain, he didn't ask "Why Me" he only asked his dad once "Are they sure they have done everything dad, there is nothing else they can do"? And with the answer....he then accepted his fate with dignity.
I was able to spend the day with him before he died. He in his hospital bed, me sitting in a chair beside him holding his hand. We laughed, we watched old shows from our childhood on TV.
You see my nephew and I are only about 4 years apart in age. We grew up together, and were very close. We had inside jokes that no one else understood. He always knew how to make me smile and did it often. We had many long talks over big bowls of ice-cream, or sitting in the lobby of Burger King. We solved a lot of the worlds problems with a whopper and a coke...LOL.
He made world famous sandwiches. The kitchen would look like a tornado went through when he was done. The deal was, he would make them but I had to clean up afterwards.....it was so worth it. His sandwiches, just like him....were amazing.
He had such a big heart, He loved all things space and lived right around the corner from the Kennedy Space Center. He was an amateur photographer and his photos were beautiful. He was the number one fan of the Miami Dolphin's and wore his official jerseys with much pride!
He loved his family more than anything. He left us much too early. We miss so much about him. But he will always live in our hearts. He had many friends but only one true love....her name was Aurie.
We love you John John!! Take care of your grandparents, your Uncle Mickey, Uncle Danny and Uncle Keith until we can all be together again.
