Hey Emmy. Just my yearly check in until Steam inevitably dies. You've got a niece now! Her name is Annamarie Lynn Sands. Named after Nana, mom and Ashley's mom's middle name. She's six months old right now and absolutely adorable. Similar to how Jacob was as a baby but different in her own way. Already moving around and so inquisitive. You definitely would have loved her. You always were amazing with Jacob. I finally managed to upgrade my PC! Also, Dark Souls on the Switch is a nightmare dude. I bet you'd have enjoyed getting mad at it. I hope to keep doing a yearly update with you. It's just so hard to believe you've been gone for five years now. I could really use my little brother right now. I love you Emory. Be good buddy.

Hope things are better wherever you are friend

I always come here to just remember the good times. I miss you.

I think about you a lot. I think about the things I wish I had talked with you about. I think about all the games we never got to play together. All those PC parts we were going to put together. It's always hard to come back here and think about you, but it's important to me to remember you. I miss you Emory.

Gone, but not forgotten.

Wanted you to know you're going to have a niece soon! She would have loved you, like most everyone that knows you does. It's been a real rough four years, Emory. Mom and dad aren't doing too great. Kenny seems lost, and Tymi is pretty much MIA. Ashley and I are doing okay, for the most part. I'm a Master Tech doing engine work at a Ford dealer, and Ashley is helping build a massive company. We plan on building a house soon, and I'm still going to plan a room just for you. You'll always be my best friend. I only wish we could have had some more time together. I love you, Emory.. I can't wait to see you again, bud.
