Jose PoVey
Wow... where do I start.. Jason has been such an example to me. I remember as a little kid, all i wanted to do was be like Jason. What was he wearing, what music did he listen to? Everything he did influenced me in everyway. I loved when he allowed me to hang out with his buddy's when we'd go fishin or rabbit hunting.. I was so grateful to get chances to hang with my older brother.. i savored the times we weren't fighting.
I think the biggest thing i rememeber about my brother came when i was 18 years old. I was out at college and had just announced to my family that i was going to serve a mission for my church.
One day i opened up an email that was sent from my brother, who, at the time; was about 2,000 miles from me. But the impact he made in my life made him feel as close as he has ever been.
I opened the email expecting to see "hey how ya doin." Expecting the regular pointless emails we send to see how one another was doing.
But i was wrong, dead wrong. As i opened the email it began with telling me how much he looked up to me for my decision. he told me about his life, his regrets and how proud he was of me for laying down my life to the lord. Although i don't remember words.. i do remember the feeling i got from that letter. Tears filled my eyes as i read the last few lines that wished me luck and told me how much he was going to support my decision. For once.. once in my life.. i finally felt like a brother. I finally saw his love for me that i never knew exsisted.
To this day me and my brother, Jason, continue to grow together as we are half a country from one another. His writings and his beliefs inspire me in ways that i can't put into words. he's amazing. there are thousands of words to describe this strong human being.. but i will stick with amazing. His writing is such that will go down forever and will be quoted hundreds of years from now.. and his beleifs about government, religion and life will forever live with me..
To put everything into a few words...
Jason.. I love ya bro.
