"Who You'd Be Today"

Sunny days seem to hurt the most.
I wear the pain like a heavy coat.
I feel you everywhere I go.
I see your smile, I see your face,
I hear you laughin' in the rain.
I still can't believe you're gone.

It ain't fair: you died too young,
Like the story that had just begun,
But death tore the pages all away.
God knows how I miss you,
All the hell that I've been through,
Just knowin' no-one could take your place.
An' sometimes I wonder,
Who'd you be today?

Would you see the world? Would you chase your dreams?
Settle down with a family,
I wonder what would you name your babies?
Some days the sky's so blue,
I feel like I can talk to you,
An' I know it might sound crazy.

It ain't fair: you died too young,
Like the story that had just begun,
But death tore the pages all away.
God knows how I miss you,
All the hell that I've been through,
Just knowin' no-one could take your place.
An' sometimes I wonder,
Who you'd be today?

Today, today, today.
Today, today, today.

[Instrumental Break]

Sunny days seem to hurt the most.
I wear the pain like a heavy coat.
The only thing that gives me hope,
Is I know I'll see you again some day.

Some day, some day, some day.

Our lives are forever touched...  / Juana Dement (Friend of the Family )
Mark, Julie and Elyse,
You know how much our family cares for you all and how our lives have kept are paths crossing throughout the years.  First through Union City Police Department and then when the girls danced together.  The Lord has made our paths cross another time through Brandon and the Good Night Soldier song.  I heard the song for the first time in January 2005. Even after Erica and Derek recorded it, I never imagined it would touch us so close to home.  We are so very proud of Brandon.  May the Lord bless and protect our brave men and women.  We care very deeply for all of you.  I pray for you always.

I love you Mr. B  / Aunt Glory (Aunt)
Hi Brandon, my darling nephew and friend,
I have so many regrets sweetheart. I missed out on so much in your little B-boy years. We bonded instantly the minute I showed up on your doorstep when Gramps was sick. I thank God everyday for that. You and Elyse loved me, even though we missed out on so much time. I knew instantly what you were made of and I knew you had something very special inside of you.....
I know that you love me Brandon and I know that you know that I loved you.
I am envious that you are in that better place, but I know you could have done so much good here with your earth family. This crazy world needed you for awhile longer. There is no one like you....
I love you sweet Brandon Close

Brandon... With A Smile That Draws You In...  / Judi Sweeney (Fellow Thundering-Third Group Member )
Julie and family...  My heart greaves with you and for you.  I miss your postings Julie... mostly during the first deployment to Iraq.  I remember holding you when we met during that Homecoming eagerly awaiting our Marine's arrival...  you and Angie were the first to greet me.  You have no idea how special and happy you made me feel.  Now, I wish I could hold you again... for different reasons.  To let you know I miss you and that bright smiling face and hearty laughter of yours.  We got to know Brandon through your words... he became special to us too.  Brandon has a smile that draws everyone in... that smile makes you want to linger and talk.  I say "has"... because I know he is up there with God... smiling down at us, just waiting to greet us to his special Homecoming.  He then will be holding us.  God Bless and watch over you Julie, Scott, Elyse, Mark, and Shelly.
