My world got tossed upside down.

On July 24th (my birthday), my brother Casey went missing, while water rafting, with my brother Ben. The next morning, rescue divers found his body in the river.

It has been a long, emotional week for my family and I.

And I have of course turned to food for comfort...
Which is okay. My diet will be there, after I get through these crazy couple of weeks.

Love you Casey
