Brandyn, you have always been such a positive person. Even in the darkest times, you always found a way to make me feel as if everything was ok. You were so full of love with an incredible amount wisdom. You had a smile that would light up the whole universe making it impossible not to smile back. I will never forget the day I met you.

A mutual friend introduced us because you had an extra bedroom you were willing to rent out. I knew instantly that you and I would have an amazing bond. You invited me into your home and made me feel so comfortable and safe. You will never know just how much you meant to me for so many reasons. From that day in 2015 until the day you left this earth, you taught me so much about myself. I have always looked up to you because I know how far you have come. You managed to overcome some pretty tough hurdles. I am so proud of you and all of your accomplishments.You set goals and smashed them one by one.
