Because you don’t have to ask me twice.

i miss you aj.
guys, if you ever click on any link i ever post, PLEASE let it be this one. 
its called People Against Childhood Cancer, or PAC2. the only thing it requires is your name. 
right now it has 42,360 signatures and when it gets 1 million signatures, big, BIG things are going to happen. potentially kicking cancer in the ass (i would say pardon the language, but i think we could all agree that cancer of any kind needs a good kick in the ass). there are more specific details on the link, WHICH YOU NEED TO CLICK TO FIND OUT!!
an old friend of the family is running it, due to the fact that this useless, evil, unfathomable disease took away his youngest son, AJ. AJ was the closest thing i will ever have to a younger sibling. two Januaries ago, he died at the age of 14. 
died at 14 people!!!!! seriously, think about everything that is wrong with that sentence. he was the healthiest, most athletic kid at his school until Fathers Day 2007! 7 months later, we were listening to Hallelujah in a church staring at his picture and wondering what the hell happened.
im in NO way trying to scare all you new baby mommas out there. but what i am going to do, is ask you to do one thing: sign the damn petition!
geogiegirlnyc, do it for Charlotte.
withoutmelissa, do it for Everly.
iloveroo, do it for Owen.
graceinplace, do it for Rhyan.
artislovely & iannorris, do it for the boy.
anybody! everybody! i dont care who you are or whether or not you even have kids, it doesnt matter!! do it for any child that youve ever known, that you will know, or that may one day be your own.
honestly, it takes maybe a whole 20 seconds of your time, if that. but that 20 seconds of your time will help save countless little lives.
did you know what AJ was one of 3,000 children that die every year from this? because he was.
what if i told you that two elementary classes worth of children are diagnosed with some form of childhood cancer every day? because they are—46 to be exact.
or what if i told you that over the span of 10 YEARS, the government allots enough money for childhood cancer research that would support 2 HOURS of the War in Iraq? because thats true too.
sickening, huh? so do something about it!
ive plastered the link all over this post, but ill put it down here one more time just in case you didnt see it before or if your too lazy to scroll up to find it again: People Against Childhood Cancer
ive given several speeches about this, and i usually end them like this:
“Do it for AJ. Do it for your own kids. Do it for today’s 46 unlucky kids, and tomorrow’s 46, and the next day and the next day…

FLY HIGH. WHAT’S REAL CAN’T DIE.”

so fly high Lettly Boyyy. you will forever be real, and in my heart you will never die.
