This is so hard for me. Brad, you were my first kiss, my first boyfriend, my first best friend, my first date, my first love. For four years we shared everything until we moved apart. We lived different lives, married other people and created new families. But somehow we always seemed to reconnect easily no matter how much time has passed. We'd pick up wherever we left off and catch up like hardly any time had gone by. We've always remained special to each other and I don't know how many people can say that about their first boyfriend. Thank you for teaching me so young how a man should truly treat a woman. You were never mean or cruel, never played games, took care of me when I needed you and meant it when you said "I love you." You were kind and protective and I've compared every relationship I ever had to ours and refused to ever settle for less. Thank you for that. There is a huge piece of my heart and soul missing now that I know you're gone. I am comforted that you are now resting and at peace. You were the last soul on earth to deserve the suffering and hell you endured. Rest peacefully Brad. I will miss you until the end of my days, Shanna Sue❤️
