“Friends will come and go and you should always value family because in the end they are always going to be your friend and they will always be with you. I have a small family and I have lost a brother and it makes you really think about life and who is important to you. I had a very good relationship with both of my brothers and my father left when I was three so they were like father figures to me. I respected them. My mom instilled it in us as we were growing up. I would tell my brother I love him and I wish he was here with me.”
