Brian - It's been 6 years since your death, and still not a day goes by without feeling regret that we didn't reconnect. Growing up, I looked up to you so much. You were my older cousin who would always show me an adventure. I still tell stories about how we'd explore all the apartment buildings around Nanny & Pop Pop's house in Philly. Or climbed up on top of the Bell Telephone Building and you had to knock on the door to ask them to let me down from the 4th floor balcony because I was too scared to climb down myself. Or when you'd come visit me in Roslyn and you would show me how good of a hinting dog Buffy was - showing me all the commands she knew. Or those summers down the shore in Wildwood and Brigantine. Such great memories. I would always ask Uncle Fred (your dad) how you were doing and he'd say you were good, but when I would ask for a phone number or some other way to get in touch, he'd promise me the info but it just never happened. I always hoped we would reconnect because all of us cousins have remained so close over the years. We're have such a tight, loving family and you never got the chance to experience most of it. It will always be one of my biggest regrets because of course now it's too late to contact you and reminisce with you. I just hope, wherever you are, it isn't because I forgot about you. That never happened, and I'm so sorry I waited too long.
Miss you Brian
Mike Reiser
